Ouch!

[user135779]

Barry Woods: 2 def. Vanessa Selbst: 0

The money was all in on a flop that read {2-Hearts}

and we got to the feature table as the cards were tabled:

Woods: {k-Clubs}

Selbst:

Selbst was in great shape to double up but looked worried then the {k-Diamonds}

spiked on the turn, giving Woods some hope to bust her out on the river with the case king, any eight or any ...

... yep, you guessed it, any two. Which came down on the river in the form of the {2-Clubs}

, thus eliminating Selbst in seventh place.

"Okay, I'm going to go and shoot myself now," joked Selbst after shaking hands with Woods, who will now have to wait for the winner of the rubber between Andrew Lichtenberger and Martin Gudvangen.

Selbst Can't Break Back Yet

[user135779]

Barry Woods: 1 vs. Vanessa Selbst: 0

Despite taking an early chip lead in their second match, Selbst has had all the hard work undone and it's back to all square with her battle against Woods.

On a board of {k-Clubs}

, Woods moved all of it into the middle and Selbst snap-called, tabling {k-Spades}

for trip kings.

However Woods rolled up {7-Hearts}

for a flopped full house! Crippled down to around 4,000 in chips, Selbst moved all in a short time later on a flop of {5-Clubs}

with

.

To her relief, she had managed to strike it lucky against Woods' {9-Spades}

and she doubled up after the turn and river ran out {3-Hearts}

Advantage McMurphy

[user135779]

Kyle McMurphy: 1 vs. Brian Roberts: 0

We caught the action on a board that read {7-Diamonds}

on the river. Roberts deliberated, then moved the rest of his stack into the middle.

McMurphy snap-called, tabling {k-Spades}

. Brown looked sick, rolling up {a-Clubs}

. Brown was covered by only 50 in chips and it's 1-0 to McMurphy!

How it Works

[user135779]

All of today's finals matches consist of 20 six minute levels, with the current quarter final matches and semi finals giving each player a 10,000 start bank.

The final match and third-place playoff will feature a 20,000 start bank.
