Greg Gius came over from his final table of the nightly 7 p.m. event just in time to see his friend Kotliarsky make the call and put his hand on Kotliarsky's shoulder as if to congratulate him on a nice hand. There were still two more cards to fade though, but he had no sweat as the turn and river kept him with the best hand, eliminating Guzman from the tournament as a result. The two shook hands and went on with their business.
