The flop read 
, and action was on Andy Frankenberger who bet out, Johnny Chan was the only other person in the hand and he opted to raise. Frankenberger countered by moving all in and Chan made the call. As is the custom cards were flipped over and both players saw where they were standing, and it was Frankenberger on top.
Frankenberger: 
Chan: 
The 
fell on the turn, solidifying Frankenberger's double up even more, but the 
on the river put the hand in Chan's favor and Frankenberger was sent home.
AMFrankenberger Andy Frankenberger Just got it in w KK on T33 v chan's 99. 9 on river. I'm out.

Randy Lew started the action out in a recent hand by making it 2,600 to see the flop. A middle position player made the call and the hijack player did the same. Next it was on Andy Frankenberger on the button who took about a minute to decide what he wanted to do. In the end Frankenberger threw it away.
The small blind folded and action found itself on a big blinded Johnny Chan. Chan took a few moments and pushed forward a stack of chips for a raise. Chan made it 12,000 and action was back to Lew who took about a minute before announcing "all in". The rest of the table folded back to Chan, who quickly made the call making Lew the one at risk. Cards were turned over, and it was Chan who was well out in front.
Chan: 
Lew: 
Lew was going to need to grab hold of something if he wanted to continue his Main Event run. The board came 
and with that Lew's Main Event and World Series of Poker was over.
nanonoko Randy Lew I raise KK utg to 2600, 2 people flat, Johnny Chan in the BB squeezes to 12000 and I jam for 52000 and he snaps with AA. Main event over -_-

Well, there is one less player in the Onnit Last Sticker Standing Contest, and its was one of the more accomplished players in the contest. Kevin Boudreau has more then $450,000 in live earnings, including a 2nd place in a $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the 2010 World Series. However, he came into today super short, with just 9,375, and wasn't able to get anything going. We didn't catch the hand, but Boudreau did tweet this.
KevinPhwap Kevin Boudreau Bingo Bango Busto :( still got 1% of 4 stacks so I guess that's how I'll be shipping it this year. Thanks for sweating and the gl's

It appears David "Doc" Sands has been eliminated from the Main Event. We didn't catch the action but Sands just tweeted this.

We don't know exactly what happened, but we know Randy Lew managed to get his short stacked opponent all in and at risk holding 
. Lew's opponent had 
and needed to avoid some aces and kings to stay alive in this tournament.
The board came 
and with the king on the flop Lew secured the lead and never let it go. Lew now sits around 90,000 in chips and continues to build his stack despite a tough table draw. Sitting on Lew's direct right is Johnny Chan. Lew seems pretty excited about this as per his tweet earlier.
nanonoko Randy Lew More greatness happening, Johnny Chan receives a gift...it's an orange...and he's smelling it... http://t.co/BNpTsLO1

Another player at Lew's table is Shannon Shorr who has tangled up with Lew a few times already. With plenty of day left and plenty of chips to be had we expect these three to have many battles throughout the day.
