Jeff Gross just swung by our desk and informed us of his elimination. It happened in a 1,000,000+ pot when he ran 
into . Given the situation, Gross seemed in good spirits, no doubt pleased with his deep run here in the WSOP-Circuit Main Event.

As we were uploading our batch of photos, we missed out on the elimination of Nic Johnson. While we don't have any details, we thought we'd at least post something for the Nic Johnson fans out there, like his good friend Matt Davis.
Likewise, Okla White has made his way to the payout desk.

Bryan Dillon opened for 42,000 and Mike Scarborough raised to 140,000 from the cutoff. Action folded around back to Dillon and he called. The flop fell 
and Dillon bet 250,000. Scarborough tanked and then asked, "If I fold will you show me?"
Dillon replied, "Do you want me to?"
"Gah, that's some triple reverse psychology there," Scarborough said before he folded.
Jacob Bazely moved all in preflop and Aaron Steury called.
Bazely: 
Steury: 
The board ran 
and Steury chipped up to over two million with the knockout.

Eric Crain recently relocated to Table 4 after his previous table broke. As he was still unracking his monster stack, Crain announced a raise and made it 40,000 to go from early position. Kennii Nguyen asked the table's new addition his name and then made the call, leading to the 
flop.
Crain proceeded to lead out for 65,000, Nguyen called, and both players checked the 
turn and 
river. "King high," Crain said as he tabled 
. Unfortunately for him, Nguyen rolled over 
for ace high and the winner.
