Tuan Le Eliminated

Call it the curse of the Day 1 chip leader, but Tuan Le, who held that title last night, is now out only two spots short of the money.

After the betting was capped between Le and Mike Wattel on third street, Le bet his last 1,000 chip on fourth and Wattel called. Le showed a pair of aces and a low draw, but Wattel had him for high with sixes and fours. Le couldn't catch a low card or another pair on seventh, the {9-Diamonds}

falling to send him home in 18th place.

Wattel is now up to 210,000 and with 17 players remaining, play will proceed hand for hand until we burst the money bubble.
