He was correct, of course. His Number Three was no good. Billy Baxter made a Number One to eliminate Giang.
"Cold deck, cold deck," muttered Giang. "How can I lay down the hand?"
Giang earns $6,843 for his efforts. For his part, Baxter, who started the day with the shortest of the 30 stacks in the field, has become our new chip leader with 148,000 chips.
Luong showed 8-6-5-4-3. Cohen was drawing to a 6-5-4-2, but picked up a trey on the end to make an unwanted straight.
Luong now has 83,000.

Davis took two, Vitch one, and Baxter two. Davis bet, Vitch raised, Baxter folded, and Davis called. Davis then took one card, while Vitch stood pat. Davis checked, Vitch bet, Davis check-raised, Vitch three-bet, and Davis called.
Both stood pat on on the third round of drawing. This time Davis bet, Vitch raised with the last of his chips, and Davis called.
Davis showed a 7-6-4-3-2, beating Vitch's 8-7-5-3-2.
Phan had made a 9-6 after the first draw. Perry had been drawing to an 8-6-3-2, but squeezed a paint card on the end. Phan now has 42,000.
On the first pass, everyone drew two cards. Perry took the betting lead; both players called.
On the second pass, everyone drew one card. Raymer came out firing this time. Perry raised, but Phan called and Raymer reraised. Both Perry and Phan called.
On the final draw, Raymer and Phan stood pat, while Perry drew one. Again Raymer fired; this time Perry folded but Phan called.
"Number Two," announced Raymer, showing 7-6-4-3-2. Phan flashed an 8-5 before mucking. Perry is now down to 4,000 chips, while Raymer, who was in serious stack trouble as recently as an hour ago, is up to 79,000.
The second draw, and the action afterwards, came off exactly the same as the first.
On the third draw, each player drew one card. Perry bet and was quickly called by Sung.
"Eight seven," said Perry.
"Eight six," replied Sung, opening 8-6-5-4-3. Perry shook his head and mucked.
After the hand, Perry's stack dipped dangerously to 26,000, while Sung soared to 86,000.
