Suh stood pat and turned over 
. Stone took one and showed 
.
"Is she drawing dead," a tablemate asked.
"No, she needs a spade," another answered.
Stone did turn over a black card, but it was the 
and she was eliminated in 30th place.
After the hand, Suh said that this is the first tournament he has ever played in, and he's making the most of it.

Badugi
Ren Lin had the 
in front of him as he was all in for his tournament life on the final draw. His opponent, Edward Suh, already had made a king Badugi.
"Heart, heart, heart," Lin chanted as he lifted up his last two cards and slowly took a peek at them. The first was the 
.
"Touchdown," he yelled when he saw the second. The table thought he had made his hand, but the fun-loving Lin was only joking. He instead got the 
as Suh claimed another victim.

Barrett Takes Down Four-Way Pot
Level 18
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
A-5 Triple Draw
John Monnette raised pre-flop and received calls from Matthew Schreiber on the button and Maury Barrett in the small blind. Big Blind Jesse Hampton then re-raised and all three opponents called.
Barrett, Monnette, and Schreiber all took two, while Hampton took one. He bet and everyone called to the second draw.
Hampton bet again after drawing one, and that was enough to get rid of Monnette. Schreiber and Barrett stuck in until the final draw, and Hampton and Barrett both took one while Schreiber stood pat.
"Nine," Schreiber announced.
"Eight," Barrett countered, turning over 8-4-3-2-A as both Schreiber and Hampton mucked to award him the big pot.

Kassela Won't Be Here in 2040
Level 18
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
A-5 Triple Draw
If you stand near tables at the WSOP, you're likely to hear the players' impressions of the brand new venue, and as the Series nears the two-week mark, those impressions are overwhelmingly positive.
"Get comfortable because I don't think we will be moving again until 2040," said Brandon Cantu as the dealer made his way around the table for a hand of A-5 Triple Draw.
"We don't want to," another player said.
"I won't be playing in 2040," said Frank Kassela, prompting a laugh from the rest of the table.
"I call," responded Daniel Strelitz, doubtful that Kassela will find a reason to retire.
The table discussed how old they will be in 2040, and a few players made plans for the Seniors Event. Others were less optimistic about the geopolitical realities of a 2040 WSOP.
"We'll be playing for water rations and bullet casings," predicted Galen Hall.
Philip Eisman raised from under the gun and Jeff Lennon called from the next seat over. Kassela three-bet from the big blind and both players tossed in chips to call.
Kassela stood pat, Eisman drew two, and Lennon took one. Kassela bet and both players called.
After Kassela stood pat once again, both Eisman and Lennon took one. Kassell bet and both players called again.
On the final draw, Kassela remained pat and the other two players asked for one card. All three checked the final draw and Kassela turned over 
. The two losing hands went into the muck and Kassela picked up the pot as Day 2 enters the final turn.
