We didn't catch the betting action on the key hand, only the aftermath of it. What we saw was that David Levi had flopped top set of aces, and that Men "The Master" Nguyen had flopped middle set of queens. A low never came, so the main pot was shipped to Levi, leaving Nguyen with just 4,000 in chips. By the time we took the floor again, he had been eliminated.

Maria Ho came in for a raise from under the gun, and she found calls from Matthew Ashton, Brandon Cantu, as well as both players in the blinds. The dealer fanned out a 
flop, and the small blind led right out. The big blind folded, as did Ashton, but Ho and Cantu made the call. The 
hit the turn, and the small blind led again. Ho came along, but this time, Cantu raised it up. Both players called, and the river brought the 
.
The small blind led once again, Ho called, and Cantu called off the rest of his chips. Cantu tabled 
for a variety of full houses, which was good enough to take the high. The big blind had the 
and 
in his hand for a six high straight and low, but it was no good, as Ho had the nut low to take the other half of the pot.
There are 66 players still in contention for this title, but only 40 of them will be walking away with money. We go on break in 90 minutes, so it's unlikely that we will hit the money until after that.
We weren't able to catch the hand that did him in unfortunately, but Eli Elezra, who came into today as one of the bigger stacks, was slowly whittled down throughout the day, and busted shortly after we returned from break.
