Nicholas Wilbur Eliminated in 11th Place ($14,853)
Nicholas Wilbur came into today as the chip leader, but he was stuck in reverse all day and has been eliminated on the "unofficial" final table bubble.
Wilbur and Ian Mack were heads up on a flop of 
. Wilbur checked from the big blind and Mack bet 150,000. Wilbur responded with a check-raise all in of 500,000 on top and Mack went deep into the tank. He counted out the chips to call, then talked the hand over to himself, trying to figure out what Wilbur could have. Eventually, he made the call and it turned out to be a great one.

Mack: 
Wilbur had an open-ended straight draw, but the king would only chop the pot. Wilbur would need an eight and an eight only to double up, but he didn't get it on the 
turn, or the 
river.
Wilbur came into today with high hopes, but he will leave in a dissapointing 11th. Meaninwhile, Mack has come out of nowhere to become the big chip leader heading into the unofficial final table with over 2.5 million.
