, and Negreanu fired out 91,000.
Bowker made the call, and the river was the . Negreanu slowed down this time by checking, and Bowker quickly pounced on the opportunity, betting 210,000.

for deuces full of sixes, and Negreanu mucked his hand.

At the beginning of Day 5 of the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event, Jarrett Nash was no where to be found. His chips were stacked for him, and his chip bag was draped over his chair. Slowly, he began to blind out, until he was down to his last 2,000 chips here in Level 22.
On his final hand, Tournament Director Bill Bruce tossed in his last two yellow T1,000 chips (two thirds of an ante), and mucked his hand.
"Jarrett Nash, 171st place," Bruce said into his walkie talkie.
There have been a few rumors circulating on Twitter, so we asked Seth Palansky, the vice president of corporate communications for Caesars Interactive Entertainment Inc., to explain the situation.
According to Palansky, Nash observes the sabbath, meaning that from sundown Friday night to sundown Saturday he was unable to play. Nash explained this to the WSOP staff last night, and left before the day was over. He fully understood the consequences of not playing until after the dinner break today, and left his Total Rewards card, knowing that he was going to bust.
Nash missed an $8,000 pay jump by nine eliminations, and will have to settle with $44,655.

When PokerNews arrived at the table, the board read 
between threes players; Charles Coultas, Andrew Moreno and Lasse Soerensen.
According to a fellow member of the media, Moreno had opened with a raise preflop to approximately 45,000 and Soerensen called from the cutoff seat. Coultas called from the small bind and the flop was dealt . It was said that Coultas checked, Moreno fired a continuation bet of 79,000 and Soerensen called. Coultas also called and all three players remained in to see the turn.
Fourth street brought the and Coultas checked. Moreno kept his foot on the gas and fired 162,000. Soerensen took a minute, then called. Coultas had other things in mind, though, and raised all in, having both players covered. Moreno went into the tank. He had just about 480,000 behind and his tournament would be on the line if he were to call.
At one point while tanking, Moreno asked Soerensen how much he had and got an eyeballed count. After a couple minutes, he finally made the call. It was at this point that Amnon Filippi yelled out, "Hey ESPN, we've got a huge pot over you're going to want to film!" and the cameras came rushing over from another table. Soerensen was still tanking, though.
The cameras got to the table and quickly set up while Soerensen thought. He took some time, but eventually folded. Later it was rumored that Soerensen folded 
for top two pair.
"Do you have it?" Moreno asked looking at Coultas. No one turned over their hand yet as the cameras locked in on everything. Coultas didn't respond, which then Moreno confidently showed the 
for two pair, kings and fives. Coultas held the for a combo draw and needed a queen or a spade on the river.
There was a little bit of a pause while the cameras rolled and the rail right next to the table became flooded with fans of both players. The dealer was given the go ahead by the ESPN crew and that's when Moreno looked at his rail of friends and said, "This is what it's all about!"
The river was dealt and the hit the felt, delivering a flush to Coultas and eliminating Moreno from the tournament. Moreno collected himself off to the side of the table, coping with what could have been. After a minute, he returned to the table to be escorted to the payout desk while Coultas began stacking up his new found wealth.
It took Coultas a few minutes to stack all of the chips from the pot, but when he was done, his stack amounted to just under three million. Soerensen was left with 680,000 after folding the turn.

We just came on a decent-sized pot brewing between Andras Koroknai and Gaelle Baumann. The pair had reached the river with the board showing 
and pile of chips in the middle. Baumann had set out a bet of 175,000, and after some moments of thought Koroknai set out a stack to call.
Baumann tabled 
for trip eights, and Koroknai mucked.
