Elizabeth Eliminated

It just wasn't Shannon Elizabeth's day. After losing with A-A to Beth Shak's pocket sixes earlier in the tournament, Elizabeth went down with A-A once again. This time it would be for all her chips.

The board was ten-high, 4-5-T-7, when all the money went into the middle. Elizabeth showed A-A and her opponent showed T-T for top set.

The river brought another ten to add insult to injury and bounce Elizabeth from the tournament.

The Ladies Get Into It

Shannon Elizabeth and Beth Shak went to the turn on a board of {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}. The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Elizabeth checked to Shak. Shak bet 10,000 and Elizabeth called.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked.

Elizabeth showed A-A and Shak showed 6-6 for a set of sixes and the winning hand.

Shak commented, "I thought you had aces" as she stacked her chips up.

Elsewhere In The Field

Visit table #1 and you'll find Erik Seidel looking thoughful and wearing noise-canceling headphones, perhaps because sitting across the way is Hevad "Rain" Khan.

Chau Giang is also at table #1, while table #4 is host to Jeffery Lisandro and Vanessa Rousso. Jennifer Harman, Shannon Shorr and Tom McEvoy are playing at table #18, and Minh Ly, Isaac Haxton and Dan Shak are playing at table #13.

More Fun Tables

Sitting at Table #2 (directly in front of us) is 2006 World Champion Jamie Gold. Two seats to his left is Peter "Nordberg" Feldman, Jason Lester (who won a bracelet last year) is in the six seat. And sitting in seat number eight is the formidable visage of Alex Kravchenko, who reached the final table of the Main Event last year after capturing a bracelet earlier in the Series.
