Couden stood pat and Elezra went deep into the tank as he contemplated his decision.

"It's a flip whether I break it..." Elezra said.

Eventually, Elezra decided to stand pat as well and Couden revealed 9x7x6x5x4x. Elezra quickly tossed his cards into the muck — eliminating him one spot shy of the final table.

Richard Freitas: K♦10♦3♣2♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: K♣8♣6♠6♣

Freitas held a pair and a flush draw, but was well behind Deeb's set of sixes.

The 5♦ turn filled Freitas's flush, but the 5♣ river paired the board — leaving Deeb best with a full house to eliminate Freitas in 10th place.

No-Limit Hold'em

Joey Couden raised to 70,000 under the gun. It folded to Richard Freitas in the big blind, who defended. Couden continued for 75,000 on the 2♥9♦6♥ flop, and Freitas check-called.

The J♥ turn then checked through to the Q♥ river. Freitas dropped in a bet of 200,000, which Couden called after some thought. Freitas opted to forfeit the pot by mucking his cards, and Couden tabled Q♣J♣ for two pair.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Over at the other table, Thomas Taylor could be seen betting the 7♠K♦K♥5♣ turn from the big blind. Yu Li called under the gun, and reluctantly called off when Taylor pushed in his last 25,000 on the 9♥ river.

Taylor tabled K♠K♣J♣4♦ for quad kings, and Yu only briefly flashed AxQx10x before his cards were added to the muck.
