Joey Couden: XxXx/5♦A♦Q♦ - folded on fifth street
Catching up on fifth street with Robert Shepp already all in, Greg Mueller bet and both Dan Heimiller and Joey Couden folded, which meant a showdown between Mueller and Shepp.
Mueller already held a flush, but Shepp caught two pair on sixth to keep himself drawing live.
It wasn't meant to be, however, as seventh street brough Shepp the K♣ to eliminate him in 13th place.

Alan Keating had an opportunity to prove to the high-stakes tournament grinders — notably, Daniel Negreanu — that he can hang in their arena. But the Hustler Casino Live fan favorite bowed out in the second round of Event #7: $25,000 Heads-Up Championship on Friday at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Keating, known primarily for his high-stakes cash game appearances, has over $200,000 in career WSOP earnings but hasn’t recorded a WSOP cash since 2013. Recently, he’s been publicly challenged by several high-stakes pros—including Negreanu — to step outside the comfort of the private cash game scene and compete against the game's elites.
It seems Negreanu was on Keating’s mind when he registered for the event. When PokerNews caught up with him and asked about his motivation for playing, Keating said, “It’s a heads-up tournament, and I saw Negreanu was on the list,” adding that he thought to himself, “Alright, here’s my chance to find him in his streets.”
