Marcel Luske completed, Joseph Couden raised, and Yueqi Zhu made it three bets. Luske called, and Couden called all in for less. There was 4,000 in the side pot between Luske and Zhu.
On fourth street, Zhu bet, and Luske called. On fifth street, Zhu bet again, and Luske called. They both checked sixth street, and Luske bet with a pair of threes showing on seventh street. Zhu thought briefly and folded.
Luske showed 
for trip threes, and Couden tossed his 
face-up into the middle as he made his exit.
Couden was the first elimination in Brasilia, taking home $3,142 for 23rd place.
