Cliff Josephy called a big reraise from Masa Kagawa preflop. The flop fell and both players checked. The turn came and Josephy took a while before sliding out twenty 1,000 chips, leaving mostly small denomination chips behind.
Kagawa leaned forward to see how much he had left behind, only about 13,000 or so. Kagawa thought for a while and then folded pocket queens face up. Josephy said, "Aww man, I suck," and turned over pocket aces. Josephy is around the 65,000 mark.

After the hand Karr had around 160,000 and Bonomo was left with a little less than 90,000.
Table 121 which we reported earlier was filled to the brim with top name pros was just broken up. We have to admit we enjoyed watching (and listening to) that table but it's players are now scattered throughout the rest of the field. C'est la vie.
