Vanessa Selbst Eliminated in 14th Place ($9,144)

[user135779]

At the same time that Wissam Boumadi was eliminated, we caught DeucesCracked Pro Vanessa Selbst heading to the cage.

As Wilt recalled to us, the action folded around to Selbst who limped in from the small blind, only to see her colleague shove from the big blind.

Selbst called, tabling pocket aces and was ahead of Wilt's pocket tens, however the last remaining female in the field was eliminated when Wilt spiked a ten on the flop.

Wilt is now on 980,000 in chips.

Lynn Gilmartin caught up with Vanessa earlier on tonight about this event and the DeucesCracked Aussie Millions Academy:

Wilt Droops

[user135779]

DeucesCracked Pro Aaron Wilt raised to 60,000 before the flop and the action folded around to Jim Mastorakos who called from the button before the others got out of the way.

Both players checked the flop of {5-Spades}

but on the turn of the {6-Hearts}

Wilt check-called Mastorakos' bet of 100,000 before both players checked down the river {q-Clubs}

.

Mastorakos rolled up {6-Diamonds}

which was enough to see Wilt send his hand into the muck.

Mastorakos is up to 2,000,000 in chips while Wilt shrinks to 535,000.

Level: 22

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Ante: 3,000

Sevens in Heaven

[user135779]

Matthew Ephraums raised before the flop to 75,000 before Brent Thomas reraised to 250,000. Ephraums four-bet shoved it for another 785,000 and after some consideration, Thomas let his hand go, showing {a-?}

.

Thomas rolled up pocket sevens, which is the fifth time we've seen them on table 29!

Edmonds' Stack Slightly Brent Out Of Shape

[user76023]

Brent Thomas raised to 62,000 preflop from the small blind and Brendan Edmonds called in the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds}

, Thomas fired out 50,000 and Edmonds raised to 150,000. Thomas made the call before both players checked the {7-Hearts}

turn.

On the river Thomas bet 110,000 but Edmonds had already decided to give up and folded.
