Mickey Petersen Eliminated in 13th Place ($79,960)
Only two members of the PokerStars Team remained in the field, but now we're down to just one as Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst has just eliminated Team Online's Mickey Petersen.
It happened when Petersen opened for 32,000 from the hijack only to have Selbst three-bet to 74,000 from the big blind. Petersen thought long and hard before moving all in, and Selbst snap-called.

The online pro got it in as a huge favorite, but Selbst pulled closer to even when the 
flop delivered her a flush draw. "That a good flop for you," Petersen said. No sooner had he completed the sentence then the dealer burned and turned the 
. Selbst had hit her flush to leave Petersen drawing dead.
"Nice hand," Petersen said as the dealer put out the meaningless 
on the river. "Good luck, guys."
Despite busting, Petersen immediately took to Twitter to express his excitement for 2013:
