Rebecca Kerl completed and Shaun Deeb raised all in for his remaining stack. Alexander Kostritsyn called cold and Kerl called as well.

Kostritsyn called a bet from Kerl on fourth street, but folded facing another bet from Kerl on fifth.

"I have it," Kerl said as she revealed her hole cards for a made eight.

Deeb wished his tablemates good luck and exited the tournament area before sixth street was dealt, seeing that he was drawing dead.

Deeb ended with a king — making his elimination official.

Nacho Barbero completed before Ryutaro Suzuki two-bet. Barbero called, and called Suzuki's bet on fourth street as well.

Barbero took the betting lead on fifth street and led out. Suzuki called, as did he when Barbero continued firing on sixth street.

Without much thought, Barbero tossed in a final bet on seventh street. Suzuki looked him up, but his three kings were no match for the flush of Barbero.

"Were you rolled up?" Barbero asked Suzuki after the hand, to which Suzuki gave an affirmative answer.

It checked to Klein on sixth who bet, Turner called, Keller folded, and Eslami called.

It’s been a historic run for Leo Margets in this year’s WSOP Main Event, but unfortunately for the Spaniard and her loyal legion of supporters, that run has now come to an end.

Across nine days of play at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, Margets became the first woman in three decades to reach the final table of poker’s world championship, earning her place in the history books with a headline-grabbing run on the game’s biggest stage.

However, her tournament came to a close in 7th place for $1,500,000 after a brutal river card in a key pot against Kenny Hallaert ended her bid for the title.
