Selbst played her aggressive brand of poker throughout the day once again. She also made some tremendous calls. The most impressive had to be when Selbst called Alan Sternberg's all-in four-bet shove for 42 big blinds holding
. Sternberg's 
was dominated. A stunned Sternberg was sent to the rail five cards later.Beasley ran bad for long stretches of the day but managed to chip up in a big way after the dinner break. He eliminated Vanessa Rousso (10th place) and Brandon Hall (9th place) in addition to getting a chunk of chips off of Selbst. That spot of run-good increased Beasley's count from 1.7 million to almost 5.0 million.
Tomorrow Beasley and Selbst will be joined by six other players at the TV final table. Here's how they'll be arrayed when the chips are unbagged:
Seat 1: Scott Seiver (1,125,000)
Seat 2: Cliff Josephy (1,940,000)
Seat 3: Vanessa Selbst (4,545,000)
Seat 4: Derek Raymond (1,545,000)
Seat 5: Mike Beasley (4,985,000)
Seat 6: Michael Woods (2,950,000)
Seat 7: Jonathan Aguiar (1,535,000)
Seat 8: Alistar Melville (2,940,000)

Beasley:
Hall:
A few of Hall's supporters on the rail told him it was "not the worst spot" -- which was true until an ace hit the flop,
. Then it was "just about the worst spot". The 
on the turn left Hall looking for a river deuce to chop the pot. He didn't get it. The river fell 
to send Hall to the rail and suspend play for the night.
Mike Beasley raised to 120,000 in early position and Vanessa Selbst called from the big blind.
The flop came down
and Selbst check-called 155,000. She bet 240,000 when the

for a gutshot. The 
on the turn gave her an open-ender, but the on the river instead filled Capt. Ahab's boat. Melville doubled to a little over 3 million. Selbst fell to 5 million, but she's still comfortably in the lead.
