Maya Geller Makes Straight, Cruz Fills Up

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We caught up with the action as the board read {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts} and Maya Geller, wife of poker pro Patrik Antonius, found herself all in against Valerie Cross.

Geller tabled the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} and her wheel straight was ahead of the two pair held by Cross, who showed down {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Cross needed to spike a four-outer to come from behind and eliminate Geller.

River: {A-Clubs}

The dealer flipped over a dagger for Geller and she hit the rail while Cross stacked Geller's chips.
