The flop comes out [9h][8d][2h] and Pilgrim maintains his lead. The turn is the [5s], giving his opponent outs to a straight.

Defending Foxwoods Poker Classic Main Event Champion Ronnie Pease has been eliminated from the 2012 FPC Main Event. Last year, Pease was part of a three-way chop at the end of the event, taking home more than $108,000.

Pease was knocked out by his friend, Soheb Porbandarwala, after he four-bet all-in before the flop and was called by Porbandarwala.

The A-5 of Pease was not able to catch up to the pocket queens of Porbandarwala, eliminating him from the Main Event.
