Pocket Tens the Hand to Beat
Just before the break, Gabriel Thaler was eliminated at the hands of Owen Crowe. It happened when Thaler's 
failed to improve against Crowe's 
as the board ran out 



.
In other news, John Juanda doubled after holding 
against the 
of Michael Benvenuti. That board ran out 



and Juanda turned his 65,400 into 135,000.
