John Phan was on the button. On the turn (9c-3c-2c-2h) there was around 200,000 in the pot. Marcel Luske bet 300,000 and Phan thought for several minutes. "I won't call." Said Phan. "I'll either muck or raise all in." Luske warned him, "If you go all in, I'll call." Phan finally moved his chips to the center and Luske called. Luske had Phan covered. Phan turned over Jd-3h for two pair, but Luske was way ahead with 10c-6c (a flush). Phan needed to pair, or pair the board for a full house. But the river couldn't save Phan and Luske eliminated him in 2nd place.

John Phan is runner up in today's event. ($179.195).

Jeff Knight moved all in after the flop Q-9-7), and Marcel Luske called. Marcel showed pocket aces and Knight had paired a queen. The turn was a deuce and the river a blank, proving that pocket rockets don't always get cracked. Knight was eliminated, leaving Phan and Luske heads-up going into the break.

Jeff Knight went home in 3rd place ($89,600).

Jean Gaspard went all in with Kh-9d and Joseph Miceli called with Ad-Jd. The flop came 10c-6c-3d and and Miceli was in the lead going into the turn (Qh). Gaspard would need a jack (for the straight), a king or a nine to win. But the 4d fell on the river and Jean "Prince" Gaspard was elimated.

Jean Gaspard went out in 5th place ($38,400)
