turned, Finger led out for 24,000 and Mizzi called. Both players then returned to checking when the
peeled off on the river. Finger tabled the ![]()
for jacks and tens. Mizzi mucked.

We happened upon the action with a board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
and quite a few chips in the middle. We're not sure of the prior action, but when we arrived Darren Elias had 40,000 out in front of him and was facing an all-in shove from Faraz Jaka, who had about 165,000. Elias thought for a good amount of time before conceding the hand.
Meanwhile, Matt Waxman and Chris Johnson have been eliminated from the tournament.

"He just flops quads and gets paid," we heard someone over at Table 453 say. When we made our way over we discovered they were talking about Jeff Gross, who was holding the ![]()
on a ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board.
We're not sure of the action, but we do know there was already 80,000 pulled into the middle and Gross was in for about 170,000 more. Bill Klein, whose holding remain unknown was counting out chips to pay off Gross. He seemed in good spirits all things considered.

Over the break you may have noticed that Joe Kuether suddenly had a lot of chips. That came courtesy of the hand right before dinner where he busted Bryn Kenney.
With 65,000 in the pot and a board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
, Kenney checked and Kuether fired out 38,000. Kenney woke up with a check-raise to 103,500 and Kuether responded with an all-in three-bet, which is where we picked up the action.
As other players were shuffling out of the Amazon Room headed to their favorite eatery, Kenney sat quietly pondering what to do. A call would cost him the rest of his chips, and after a few minutes of deliberation, he decided to commit them.
"Full house," Kuether said confidently and tabled the ![]()
. Kenney mucked his cards, mumbled a bit and then headed off down the Rio hallways never to be seen in Event #47: $111,111 One Drop High Rollers No-Limit Hold'em again.
