against Andy Black's 
, the board coming down a decidedly Black-favoring 
. Bebber's exit was so low-key as to not register with this blogger until he was almost out of the door, but gone he is and he won't be back this WSOP-E.
All players checked the flop so turn came giving us a
board. Lodden led out for 5,500 before Bentham raised another 8,750. Nawab moved out of the way but Lodden called.The river
brought a check from Lodden but no such niceties from Bentham as he fired 16,500 into the pot. Lodden let out a little gasp of frustration and made the call with 
. It wasn't good enough to better Bentham's 
though.Lodden was philisophical in defeat though as he said "I could've uber-shoved the turn".
Bentham now on 103,000, Lodden on 114,000.
flop. Moorman checked, Lawson bet, and Moorman called.On the
turn, Moorman bet out 9,000 only for Lawson to make it 22,000. After a moment's silent, expressionless consideration, Moorman called. They both checked the 
river and Lawson flipped over 
-- but Moorman's 
had come good, not with the flush but with unexpected trips. "Oh come on!" exploded Lawson in a brief high-volume burst of anger. "Come ON!" Moorman quietly raked in his newly-acquired chips.
board and Soren Kongsgaard flat-called, only to see Juanda turn over for quads. Juanda is now on nearly 200,000 in chips.

and it looks as though Rouas has bet or raised 25,000, only for Elliot to make it 75,000. Rouas' hands are clasped together as though he is praying, and a solid wall of assorted media are holding their collective breath around the table. "I'm hoping," says Rouas eventually, "I'm hoping that you have ace-king of clubs. Ace-queen...It's such a monster I've got. Sick."
Pipes up Matusow, clearly keen to get the hand finished, "I think I need to go back to doing drugs. I'll start with this bottle of water."
Eventually, to the ever-so-slightly audible disappointment of the Wall of Media, Rouas folds, showing
for what is indeed a very fine hand. He is rewarded for his fold by Elliot showing him 
.
In a three-way limped pot, the flop came down
. Seidel led out from the big blind for 2,500 and only Benefield called. Both players checked the 
on the turn. On the river, Seidel bet 6,600, Benefield moved all in and Seidel called. Benefield had flopped a jack-high straight with 
, but Seidel rivered a flush to eliminate Benefield from the Main Event.
flop checked to him, Josh Arieh bet 5,700 from the cutoff with Andy Bloch in the big blind his only caller. They both checked the 
turn, but come the 
river, Arieh took another stab at it, betting 11,000. Bloch called, but mucked when Arieh turned over 
for the rivered straight, and spent a moment rolling his eyes before regaining his composure for the next hand.
