Variance...

Jesse Rios - Photograph taken before set over set action presumably.
Jesse Rios may have been the early chip leader but now he's back to Earth with a bump. First losing a big pot on a {4-?} {3-?} X board with {3-?} {3-?} to {4-?} {4-?} and then he lost {Q-?} {Q-?} to {A-?} {K-?}.

Clearly he had overdrawn on his flip tokens early on with the consistent Aces-cracking and this was poker gods' way of restoring the balance.

Rios has been left with 7,500.
