The other player in the hand tanked for about a minute before he tossed in calling chips. Farrell tabled and scooped the pot, which added more chips to his already-sizable chip stack.

We missed the elimination of Maria Konnikova as it happened but she was kind enough to fill us in on some details after the fact.
As she told it, she got short in a big hand against Justin Young. It happened when she raised from early position and Young defended the big blind. The two-club flop saw Young check and Konnikova continued. Young check-raised, Konnikova shoved, and Young called off.
Justin Young:
Maria Konnikova:

We caught the action on a board reading . Current chipleader Michael Rocco was headsup in the hand and had slid out a pot-sized bet of 175,000.
His opponent in the hand had the 175,000 counted out in front of him but hadn't yet committed to making the call. After some deep thought the player folded, which sent yet another pot to Rocco.
