'Action' Dan Harrington has just been eliminated from the main event in 24th place by Rony Jazzar.
Harrington opened the pot with a raise to 16,000 from early position and action folded around to Antony Lellouche who three-bet to 41,000. A few more folds left the decision to Jazzar, who made the call from the big blind. Harrington then moved all in for an additional 161,000 and Jazzar made the call tabling a pocket pair of kings. Harrington tabled pocket tens and needed help, but none came as the board filled out giving Jazzar top set for the win.
Harrington exited the tournament room to a round of applause from his opponents, while Jazzar stacked up a whopping 650,000 in chips.
Rep Porter is by far the largest stack at Table 4, and he's using it to his advantage. After Ahmet Arpa opened for 27,000, Porter re-raised from the button to 72,000. Arpa, after confirming that it was 45,000 more back to him, called to a flop of . He checked that flop to Porter, who fired out 58,000. Arpa made a show of contemplating the bet but didn't take all that long to fold his hand.

It didn't go well for Roy Winston after the break. He came back with 22 big blinds in his stack and has just been eliminated. He opened all in from early position for his last 64,000 with and was called by small blind Uri Keidar, who opened .
"That's how it goes for me," said Winston with a shrug. He managed to pair queens on the flop but never improved from there. He's out.
Action folded around the table to John Monnette in the small blind, who moved all in for a total of 97,000. Roy Winston tanked in the big blind, meticulously counting down his stack before eventually saying, "I call."
Winston:
Monnette:
The board ran out and Monnette took down the pot with two pair (tens and deuces). After the hand, Winston was left with just 80,000 in chips while Monnette improved to 200,000.
Nenad Medic has shown plenty of willingness to play big pots over the last three days. He was at it again, raising to 28,000 after Rony Jazzar limped in and then calling small blind Layne Flack's re-raise to 88,000 straight (Jazzar folded).
On an all-small flop, , Flack bet roughly half the pot, an even 100,000. Medic tanked for two minutes before flicking his cards into the muck.
We caught up to this hand with the board showing . Zorlu Menderes had passed the first action to Medic, who'd bet out 23,000. Menderes then raised to 53,000 and Medic made the call.
At this point, there was about 160,000 in the pot and Menderes open-shoved after the dealer plopped down the on 5th Street -- a bet worth exactly 133,000.
"I think you're bluffing this time," Medic said to his nemesis. Menderes said motionless, his hands cupped together at his chin, and his head and face covered by the hood of his sweatshirt and a dark pair of sunglasses.
"Call," Medic announced, tabling the .
Menderes knuckled the table, signifying Medic's call was good, as he revealed the for complete air.
Medic stacked up right around 588,000 in chips after the hand.
"Boy am I in the wrong game," commented 'Action' Dan Harrington afterwards.
