Gaelle Baumann may have been the last woman standing at this year's World Series of Poker main event, but she will not repeat that feat here in Deauville as she has just been eliminated.
We arrive at Baumann's table to see the board reading 
, Remi Le Meur sat with a pair of kings in front of him and Baumann standing from her chair and gathering her belongings. Baumann held 
for those of you who are interested.
According to the table chatter, it appears Steve O'Dwyer opened, Le Meur three-bet, another player cold-called and Baumann shoved. O'Dwyer folded and Le Meur re-shoved. Le Meur's kings held and he is now among the chip leaders, while everyone else — read that as the men here — will have moist eyes at the prospect of not seeing Baumann until the next major poker event.

A short-stacked Steve O'Dwyer just found himself all-in and at risk of elimination, but then ran into the same hand and split the pot.
O'Dwyer opened to 3,800 from under the gun and after two players folded, Sergey Baburin three-bet to 8,500 and Gilbert Merheb, to Baburin's immediate left cold called. With the action back on O'Dwyer, he moved all in and after Baburin re-shoved, Merheb folded.
O'Dwyer:
Baburin: 
After the excitement of the preflop action, the rest of the hand was a damp squib by comparison. The final board read 
was void of drama and the pot split between the two active players.
Konstantinos Nanos just found himself in a blind-vs.-blind battle against Said Basri which saw Nanos committing his entire stack against his opponent. Good timing for Nanos, though, as he'd woken up with
