Cousineau's A-K Is Good

Tony Cousineau limped utg, and then called big blind Fu "Grasshopper" Wong's raise to 300. He also called Wong's 300 bet on the {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {K-Spades} flop and 400 bet on the {3-Spades} turn -- "Stop milking it," said Cousineau, "It's getting painful over here." Both players checked the {7-Clubs} river, and Wong mucked at showdown to Cousineau's {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

Humberto Brenes Eliminated

Huuuuuuumberto
Huuuuuuumberto
Costa Rican legend Humberto Brenes departed with a smile and a twinkle in his eye, mumbling something about two big hands decimating his stack.

"Tomorrow," he said as he exited the room.

A Pham/Le Affair

Nam Le is a goner, raising utg with K-Q and calling a reraise, then moving all in on the Q-9-4 flop. His opponent was holding pocket kings.

Also gone is David Pham -- down to just 750, he pushed preflop with {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} but was called by {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} which only improved on the {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} board.

One member of the Hit Squad is gone, Karl 'Mantis' Mahrenholz tasting dust just moments ago.

Still remaining on his former table, however, is 2008 EPT Grand Final Champion Glen Chorny, who recently won over 2.6 million dollars for his win in Monte Carlo.

Today, he has burst out of the blocks with 10,200 in chips.

Jamie's Deuces Turn to Gold

Jamie Gold moved all in preflop and was set for a showdown as he held {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} to his opponent's {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts} . Gold was not behind for long as the door card was the {2-Clubs} and the flop filled out {5-Spades} {K-Diamonds} . The board ran out two harmless blanks as the set of deuces was good enough to move Gold up to 7,600 in chips.

Boeken Down... And Out

Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken is down to just 1,400. Blind on blind, he bet the 150 on the {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} board from the big blind position, and the small blind called him. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and the small blind bet out 500; Noah folded, showing {9-?} {5-?}.

And a few hands later, in circumstances unknown, Boeken quietly threw the rest of his chips in and disappeared.

Beth Shak Eliminated

After seeing a flop of {3-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} , Beth Shak shoved her remaining 2,275 chips into the middle. Shak's pair of fours was behind as her opponent revealed {8-Spades} {9-Hearts}. A turn of {3-Hearts} brought no help, and a river {8-Hearts} only added insult to injury.
