Defending Champion Maria Lampropulos Eliminated

Last year's champion Maria Lampropulos will not be adding a second Main Event trophy to her mantlepiece as she's just been eliminated from the tournament.

The live stream crew caught her walking away from the table and she had jammed her short stack in from the big blind with the only to get called by button raiser Gianluca Speranza with pocket jacks. No help followed on flop, turn or river and her title defense came to an end.
