Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
We're not sure how it happened, but it appears David Clark has been eliminated from the tournament. As usual, we tried to catch Clark in a hand all day, but we were unable to do so.
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
With a board reading 
, Abraham Araya and La Sengphet each got 11,000 in the middle, leading to the 
river. Araya quickly checked and Sengphet thought for a solid minute before checking behind.
"Two pairs," Araya said aloud as he tabled 
. A disappointed look shot across Sengphet's face, not because she lost, but because she didn't bet her 
. Nonetheless, the pot put Sengphet up to 62,000 while Araya dropped to 100,000.
