Mick Matthews Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,144)

The turn really took the Mick.
The turn really took the Mick.
Mick Matthews moved all-in for his last 169,000, big blind Jim Mastarakos got the count then decided to call with {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

Matthews showed a dominating {K-Spades} {9-Spades} but the poker gods did not favour him as the board came {Q-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and Matthews departs in 12th position.

Vanessa Selbst Eliminated in 14th Place ($9,144)

Selbst: victim of friendly fire
Selbst: victim of friendly fire

At the same time that Wissam Boumadi was eliminated, we caught DeucesCracked Pro Vanessa Selbst heading to the cage.

As Wilt recalled to us, the action folded around to Selbst who limped in from the small blind, only to see her colleague shove from the big blind.

Selbst called, tabling pocket aces and was ahead of Wilt's pocket tens, however the last remaining female in the field was eliminated when Wilt spiked a ten on the flop.

Wilt is now on 980,000 in chips.

Lynn Gilmartin caught up with Vanessa earlier on tonight about this event and the DeucesCracked Aussie Millions Academy:

Wilt Droops

DeucesCracked Pro Aaron Wilt raised to 60,000 before the flop and the action folded around to Jim Mastorakos who called from the button before the others got out of the way.

Both players checked the flop of {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Clubs} but on the turn of the {6-Hearts} Wilt check-called Mastorakos' bet of 100,000 before both players checked down the river {q-Clubs}.

Mastorakos rolled up {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} which was enough to see Wilt send his hand into the muck.

Mastorakos is up to 2,000,000 in chips while Wilt shrinks to 535,000.

Sevens in Heaven

Matthew Ephraums raised before the flop to 75,000 before Brent Thomas reraised to 250,000. Ephraums four-bet shoved it for another 785,000 and after some consideration, Thomas let his hand go, showing {a-?}{k-?}.

Thomas rolled up pocket sevens, which is the fifth time we've seen them on table 29!

Edmonds' Stack Slightly Brent Out Of Shape

Fingers caught in the cookie jar.
Fingers caught in the cookie jar.
Brent Thomas raised to 62,000 preflop from the small blind and Brendan Edmonds called in the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {2-Diamonds}, Thomas fired out 50,000 and Edmonds raised to 150,000. Thomas made the call before both players checked the {7-Hearts} turn.

On the river Thomas bet 110,000 but Edmonds had already decided to give up and folded.

The Joy Of Six

Brad Rawiller has doubled through chip leader Brendan Edmonds.

Rawiller had reraised all-in from the small blind against Edmonds' button raise and got a quick call from the chip leader's {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.

Rawiller looked very disappointed and flipped {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} but a board of {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} soon improved things for the short stack. He's doubled up to just over 400,000.

David Saab Eliminated in 15th Place ($9,144)

This is the Saab of silence ...
This is the Saab of silence ...
Glenn Croft raised to 6,000 before the flop, only to see David Saab reraise all in. Croft called, revealing {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and found himself ahead of Saab's {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

The board was spread {q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, putting Croft's stack up to 1.6 million and leaving Saab with just 204,000.

Saab moved it in only moments later with {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Brendan Edmonds called, dominating with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Spades}; Saab was silenced and Edmonds is the first to crack the two million mark, now on 2,150,000 in chips.
