Under the gun Alistar Melville moved all in. Scott Seiver, frustrated after repeatedly moving in without being called, asked, "How much?" His question drew some chuckles from the table, since it seems the only way for Seiver to double is by calling someone else's all in. The count was 1,430,000. Seiver thought it over but eventually folded. Each of the other players followed suit.

Big Move for Beasley

Mickey Doft

Mike Beasley raised to 225,000 in the cutoff and Mike Woods re-raised an additional 500,000 on the button.

Alistar Melville quickly passed and Scott Seiver went into the tank in the big blind. After about two minutes he gave it up and action was back on Beasley. He also gave the hand some deep thought before announcing he was all in. Woods asked for a count and it was an additional 2.45 million.

Woods stared Beasley down for a good three minutes before mucking pocket eights face up.

Derek Raymond Eliminated in 6th Place ($115,000)

[user75032]

An unusual hand results in the elimination of Derek Raymond in 6th place from NAPT 2010 Mohegan Sun. Alistar Melville and Vanessa Selbst limped into the pot in front of Derek Raymond. He raised to 395,000 on the button, folding the blinds and Melville.

With action back to Selbst, she limp-re-raised to 3.7 million. "I know you didn't expect that," she told Raymond. Raymond looked perplexed and uncomfortable.

"See, it's not as much fun when you're in a hand with her," joked Mike Beasley.

Raymond tanked for several minutes. Selbst said something else to him (we couldn't hear it) and within ten seconds Raymond called. Selbst seemed surprised and very unhappy. Take us to the reveal!

Selbst: {6-Diamonds}

Raymond:

It was a rather surprising and gutsy call from Raymond. He was the player at risk, putting roughly 2.2 million chips in the pot with a marginal hand. Raymond's tournament had come down to winning a flip against Selbst.

The flop of {Q-Hearts}

didn't improve either player, but it did give Raymond a few extra outs. Selbst made a small fist pump when the turn came clean {8-Spades}

and another when the river blanked {4-Diamonds}

. Raymond was eliminated in 6th place and Selbst increased her chip lead.
