The Main Event is not the only event taking place here in the Harrah's New Orleans theater. Both Event #11 $365 No-Limit Hold'em and Event #12 $365 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo are being played out, with the former currently at the final table.
Both Jason Mayfield and David Pecaski are at that final table, while both Joseph McKeehen and Marla Byram just missed it after being eliminated in tenth and twelfth place respectively.
McKeehen will more than likely finish as the Harrah's New Orleans Casino Champ thanks to that performance and a win and runner-up finish earlier in the stop. Meanwhile, Byram, the wife of WSOP Circuit Tunica Event #11 winner Bobby Byram, notched her first-ever WSOP Circuit cash.
Both of these events are the last chances for players to capture points toward the National Championship, so it's a safe bet that those in contention aren't going to participate in any tomfoolery.

Chhabra:
Weinman:
"Two outed for all of it," a dejected Weinman yelled over to his rail. Indeed he had, but to make matters worse another player said he had folded the case jack, meaning Weiman was drawing dead. The meaningless was run out on the river as Weiman sent a huge part of his stack to Chhabra.
Kasra Khodayarkhani opened to 105,000 from early position, and Tripp Kirk three-bet shoved for 600,000 from the big blind. Khodayarkhani quickly called.
Khodayarkhani:
Kirk:
Kirk's large rail started calling for a jack, but the flop produced nothing but a backdoor straight draw. The on the turn kept that straight draw alive, and now any queen or seven would keep Kirk alive.
The river was paint, but the didn't do it for Kirk, and he was eliminated in seventh place.
