Joe Awada Eliminated

Awada moved all in preflop with pocket aces and was called by an opponent who turned over pocket queens.

Things were looking good for Awada, as the board took shape: {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, but the {Q-Clubs} on the river was one of two cards he didn't want to see.

The hand eliminated Joe from the tournament.

Vanessa Selbst Eliminated

Vanessa Selbst's found herself all in with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and looked to have Barry Greenstein's {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} dominated. But on a board of {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, Barry had an open-ended straight draw as well as the flush draw. Greenstein connected when the river brought the {J-Clubs} and Selbst was eliminated.

After the hand Selbst asked, "Barry, don't I get a book or something?"

"No, you don't," was Greenstein's reply. Barry is known to give players who knock him out a copy of his book.
