He's chipping up in the final two levels today, up to a room-leading 255,000 after his [As][Ah] faces off against a challenger's [Ad][Kd].
The [6d][9d][Qc] flop and [Kh] turn gave plenty of Aces-Cracked outs, but the river went [7c].

Level 10
Blinds: 600-1200 with a 1200 bb ante
Entries: 440
One of the three newest WPT champions - Frank Stepuchin - has become infamous for gnawing on a forked chicken wing at the poker table, along with more than a few rather colorful exaltations.
Don't believe us, we have winged proof (above).
The chicken wing found its way to a nearby receptacle after a few bites, however, for the aroma was a bit overwhelming for Loni Harwood, seated to Stepuchin's left.

[6s][9c][6h] gives Kuo and the challenger two pair, a backdoor flush draw for Stapes.

Kitty Kuo has been eliminated
Kitty Kuo was all in holding [Ac][6s] and was in bad shape against her opponent's [Kh][Qs] as the flop read [Qs][Kc][7c]. The [Kd] turn sealed her fate, and when the [8s] hit the river Kitty took off her bounty medallion and slid it across the table to her opponent.
Kitty Kuo - eliminated
Tyler Patterson doubles up
Tyler Patterson was all in holding [Qc][Jh] against his opponent's [Ah][4h]. Tyler was smiling as he took a picture with his opponent while waiting for tournament director Matt Savage to arrive. Another player joked that now a jack would certainly fall since a photo was taken. The [6c][3h][3d] flop failed to bring said jack, and the [5s] turn meant Tyler was one card away from elimination. The [Jc] fell on the river to give Tyler the winning hand and prove the prophecy true. Tyler now sits on 19,600 in chips.
Shooting Star Matt Salsberg Eliminated by Dexter Richards
Level 7
Blinds: 300-600 with a 600 bb ante

Richards moves to 120,000
Lon McEachern has been eliminated
Lon McEachern was all in on a [Jh][7h][5s] flop holding [Jc][Tc] for top pair. Unfortunately for him, one of his opponents had [Kh][Js] for a better kicker, while a second opponent held [9h][6h] for a straight and flush draw. Lon would need to get very lucky to survive. The [2s] on the turn changed nothing and the [8c] on the river gave his second opponent a straight.

Lyons hits the [2s] on the turn to get a full double.Just in case there's someone unsure about the title, it even says so on the back of Lyons' shirt.

Maria Ho survives but still short
 |
| Tony Tran (right) winces as the river completes Maria Ho's (left) flush |
Blinds: 200-400 with a 400 bb ante
Entries: 360
After a limp by Matt Affleck, Maria Ho pushed her 1,400 remaining chips in the pot. There was a raise and then a reraise by Tony Tran which cleared the field.
Maria [Ac][6c]
Tony [Ks][Qd]
Before the cards were exposed, Maria pointed out her 3 blind all in was not representative of a big hand, but she indeed got it in good. The [8d][Kc][3d] changed anything, and now Maria would need to hit an ace to survive. The [8c] on the turn gave Maria more outs to a flush and she said to the dealer, "I really want this." The dealer obliged by placing the [7c] on the river, and Maria has nearly tripled up.
