Ristola Rolled Out

We're now down to 44 players as the action continues here in the Amazon Room and amongst the first four eliminations was Markus Ristola.

All the money was in the middle pre-flop; Ristola had committed the last of his stack in with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}, but Vanessa Selbst's {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} improved to trips after the dealer spread the board of {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. As a result, Selbst is now up to 520,000.

We can also confirm that Joseph Cheong has been eliminated. While we weren't able to catch the action, we did see him being escorted out of the room by the tournament staff to collect his cash.
