Billy "The Croc" Argyros opened with a preflop raise to 3,000 before Mark Owens raised it up on the button to 8,000. It folded back to The Croc who made the call.

The Croc checked in the dark as the flop came {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Owens fired out 11,000 and The Croc made it an additional 20,000 to go. Owens moved all in and The Croc called.

Croc: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Owens: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Argyros held the lead with top set of jacks but a cruel {A-Diamonds} gave the lead back to Owens. The river was the {4-Clubs} and Argyros is eliminated.

"It's just not meant to be again boys!" said Argyros as he exited the floor. Owens is now up to 151,000.
