After a fighting day Andrew Scott pushed the last of his chips into the middle with {7-Spades}

and found himself in a race against the {Q-Hearts}

of his opponent. The flop of {A-Diamonds}

was not what Scott wanted to see, and when the miracle seven didn't arrive on the turn or river, Scott was sent to the rail.

Three ladies remain in the field today, and they are not going down without a fight. Trudie Sultana showed that she's not about to be bullied by the big stacks in a recent pot with chip leaders Grant Levy and Tony Dunst. All three saw a flop of {A-Hearts}

and Dunst bet out 5,500 from the big blind, only to have Sultana push all in over the top for all of her remaining 37,000 chips. Levy folded and Dunst thought for a few moments before folding, giving Sultana a nice pot.
