The only reason Nghi Van Tran is not going to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet - and it's a pretty good one - has been his inability to win a single flip during this final table.
Joseph Kuether raised to 120,000 in the cutoff, Nghi Van Tran moved all-in on the button, Will Jaffe also moved all-in from the big blind and Kuether folded.
| Jaffe |   |
| Tran |   |
Flop: 
The best flop Tran had seen in a long while.
Turn: 
There was a collective, "ooh," from the crowd as some of them thought it was a Jack.
River: 
The crowd went berserk as the board paired for the second time and Jaffe's ace played. Tran losing yet another flip and he was out in 4th place.

Three handed play so far has consisted of very little action, with mainly each player taking turns stealing the blinds and antes.

It remains very tense out there.
Joe Kuether raised from the small blind and then folded to a three-bet from Luis Campelo in the big blind. Then Will Jaffe raised on the button before folding to a Kuether three-bet from the small blind.
Luis Campelo raised from the button and Joseph Kuether called and came along for the ride. The flop came 
and Kuether bet out 230,000. Campelo countered by raising to around 500,000. Luether's response was to move all in a bet that would put Campelo all in.
Campelo took his time, but in the end he made the call.
Campelo: 
Kuether: 
Kuether held a strong lead with top two pair, but a 
on the turn gave Campelo a flush draw to go with his straight draw. The 
on the river finished it out and Campelo hit his straight, allowing him to double up.

Jaffe was in the lead with top pair. The crown gathered around the tv screen in anticipation of the turn.
Turn: 
Jaffe hit a full-house
River: 
Jaffe had eliminated Kuether but it was all Brazilian noise as the South Americans started to cheer because their man Luis Campelo was now heads-up against Will Jaffe.
