After-Dinner Photos As the Field Nears the Money Bubble

WPT Reporter Diana Cox records her mid-day video update with the tournament field playing behind her.

Shaun Deeb (standing) contemplates the post-flop shove of Joseph Elpayaa (foreground, left) after a flop of [Ah10s9h]. Deeb eventually called with [Kh4h] for the nut flush draw, and Elpayaa turned over [8h7h] for a lower flush draw with an open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the [Jd], the river was the [As], and Elpayaa won the pot with a jack-high straight to eliminate Deeb.

Ray Weaver won a big pot shortly before the dinner break to contend for the chip lead.
