Derek Raymond Eliminated in 6th Place ($115,000)

Raymond and Selbst sweat it out.
Raymond and Selbst sweat it out.
An unusual hand results in the elimination of Derek Raymond in 6th place from NAPT 2010 Mohegan Sun. Alistar Melville and Vanessa Selbst limped into the pot in front of Derek Raymond. He raised to 395,000 on the button, folding the blinds and Melville.

With action back to Selbst, she limp-re-raised to 3.7 million. "I know you didn't expect that," she told Raymond. Raymond looked perplexed and uncomfortable.

"See, it's not as much fun when you're in a hand with her," joked Mike Beasley.

Raymond tanked for several minutes. Selbst said something else to him (we couldn't hear it) and within ten seconds Raymond called. Selbst seemed surprised and very unhappy. Take us to the reveal!

Selbst: {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades}
Raymond: {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

It was a rather surprising and gutsy call from Raymond. He was the player at risk, putting roughly 2.2 million chips in the pot with a marginal hand. Raymond's tournament had come down to winning a flip against Selbst.

The flop of {Q-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs} didn't improve either player, but it did give Raymond a few extra outs. Selbst made a small fist pump when the turn came clean {8-Spades} and another when the river blanked {4-Diamonds}. Raymond was eliminated in 6th place and Selbst increased her chip lead.
