Brigette Lau - Eliminated
Brigette Lau - Eliminated

Brigitte Lau has just departed and that means there are no more women left in the tournament.

She got her chips in with {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} from the small blind on a {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}-flop. Het opponent was Joe Cada who made the call holding {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

The {9-Clubs} on the turn was a great card for Lau who added a flush draw to her open-ended outs. The {3-Diamonds} on the river was a blank though, the pair it gave her wasn't enough to best Cada's over pair.

Her husband, Chamath Palihapitiya, was sweating her on the rail, and tweeted the following:

Chamath PalihapitiyaUnbelievably proud of my wife @blau00 for her first WSOP cash - $10k 6-handed (aka Murderer's Row). So cool that we've now both cashed @WSOP

Gruissem Makes a Hero Call

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

After three-betting Matt Waxman preflop, Philipp Gruissem tossed out a bet of 21,000 on a flop of {8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Waxman check-raised all in, wagering effectively 120,000 or so, and Gruissem tanked for the better part of five minutes before calling.

Waxman ripped over {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for top two pair, and Gruissem turned over {10-Hearts}{8-Spades} for just bottom pair.

The {5-Clubs} on the turn was a brick, and the {10-Diamonds} on the river gave Gruissem a meaningless two pair.

"Payout!" the dealer shouted, not knowing that they weren't in the money yet.

The floor quickly corrected her, and there were some giggles at the table as Gruissem collected his things and paid his masseuse. The German hit the rail short of the money, while Waxman is up over 400,000 chips.

John Racener and David Williams also exited at neighboring tables:

John RacenerBusted 10k 6max 6 from the money. This is now the 5th event I have missed the money by 15 people or less #blah
