We had Theo Tran listed as busted in the chip counts for a few seconds--that was a misclick. He's still in. When someone on the rail told Theo that he was listed as busted in the count, Liz Lieu said, "That's because he keeps running back and forth between the Ladies Event and his seat's empty."

Pedro Rios made a big raise before the flop that was enough to set Duncan Bell all in. Bell chose to call for the rest of his chips with {4-Hearts}

and found that he was crushed by Rios' {A-Diamonds}

. The

flop brought Bell no help, nor did the {7-Spades}

on the turn, but on the river Bell spiked the {4-Clubs}

to brutally crack Rios' aces and double up.
