On the second draw, Le was down to drawing two, but Tanaka patted and bet again. That was enough to fold Le, leaving him with 11,000 chips.

On the next hand, Hertzel Zalewski limped in from the small blind, and Le took a free draw from the big. Both men took three cards, and Zalewski bet out. Le had just 3,000 chips left, and he called all in. He would draw two-one on the last two rounds, and Zalewski drew one time before patting on the last draw.
Le showed 5-4-3-2 before drawing an ugly king at the end. Zalewski had patted his T-9-8-4-2, and it was the winner. With that, the short-stack ninja Nam Le has finally been put out of his misery, exiting in 9th place.
