Robert Cowen was seen getting up from his table as he had been eliminated early on Day 2.
His Ax10x had gone up in flames against the AxKx of Bradley Howard as a king hit the flop to effectively end things for Cowen right then.

Louis Pito three-bet to 6,100 on the button before an opponent in early position four-bet to 16,800. Pito called and they saw a flop of 4♦8♠J♦.
The early-position player then bet 13,000 as Pito went deep into the tank, staring across the table at his opponent for several minutes. "Can I help you? I see you staring at me," his opponent said to him.
Another player at the table eventually called the clock and the countdown had barely begun before Pito moved all in. His opponent, with around 30,000 remaining, snap-folded.
