Bronshtein's hand finished up , while Barny received the and a pairing and was already halfway out from the ropes, congratulated and hand-shook by the other players at his table.
Dalby steps out the way, leaving Vos to flush out his opponent's pocket fives and survive for a timely double-up.

Ante: 0
Flop:
Vos and Morrison both check and Dalby moves in for 3000. Vos check-raises to 6000 and Morrison makes the call, forming a 6000 side pot. The turn is the and Vos leads out for 6000. Morrison goes into the tank. While Morrison is in the tank, Vos' lady friend delivers two bright red cocktails to the table and Mark gives one to Morrison. Morrison eventually folds and Vos opens .
Dalby laughs and says "Nice hand, give him the pot," before opening two black tens for quads!
Vos, clearly not liking the situation but simultaneously keen to remove Dalby from the the tournament, thought and thought before thinking a little bit more and having a final session of serious thinkage. Eventually he folded, leaving Kirk Morrison to bang the table in frustration and inquire as to how Vos could fold for so little.
At this point, Eric "Lowball" Dalby proudly showed and chuckled to himself as Vos proceeded to defend his play.
"I couldn't call," pleaded Vos. "I had jack-ten."
He could be telling the truth, but the old "He was ahead anyhow" quote is all too familiar and leaves the mind boggling as to who actually did hold the best hand. "If I had a pair, don't you think I would have called?" added Vos.
Either way, it's a near, and very crucial double up for Dalby who is now bearing a grin the length of the Vegas Strip and who's as smug as a mongrel that's just won a year's supply of Pedigree Chum.
Now she's overshadowed in chips by perma-raiser Yuval Bronshtein, who's got a bit of chat going on with green-haired Gary Jones. Offering his opinion on a hand, Bronshtein is interrupted by Jones asking, "And just how many bets did you make with a three in your hand?" -- referring to that previous Hold'em pot he'd played with Harman, and implying that any lessons from the young player might need a grain of salt. "Seven," he replied instantly. Well, we can't fault his memory.
