Medic

The flop is {Q-Diamonds}

, and Medic's jacks are still ahead, but the {A-Spades}

spikes on the turn, giving the lead to Bell. In the ultimate suck-re-suck, the {J-Spades}

falls on the river, making Medic's set and eliminating Bell in sixth place. He'll take home $157,168 for his efforts.

Like I said, you get busted from a WSOP final table, you don't much feel like talking. But Mike Sowers has returned after a brief absence to conduct his interview with ESPN. When you think about the histrionics some players display after they get busted, it's heartening to see a 21-year-old like Sowers handle himself like a pro, prudently take some time to cool off, and return for his interview.
