Robert Betts - Eliminated
Robert Betts is out of the Main Event after failing to win a race. He put in the third raise, all in for 260,000, after Jeremy Joseph had opened the pot for 45,000 and David Saab had reraised to 125,000. Joseph folded to Saab, who started talking out loud, saying that he thought he might need to call and try to suck out on Betts due to all of the dead money in the pot. He did eventually make the call.

Saab: {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Betts: {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}

While the ESPN cameras came over to the table, Betts explained that he shoved against Saab because he felt Saab had been making some strange moves today. It didn't matter what this thinking was when the board ran out {3-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {6-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} to make two pair, queens and threes, for Saab against Betts' smaller two pair.

Mark Vos had wandered over to the table to watch the hand. As he was leaving, Saab stood up and yelled, "Vos, I'm coming for you!" Saab has 1,750,000 in chips.
