Vanessa Rousso has been sent crashing to the rail after a huge clash with David Pham.

Pham recalled the hand to us and said that Rousso had raised preflop to 4,000 with Pham defending his big blind with {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

The flop of {Q-?}{J-?}{8-?} was enough for the two to get all their chips into the middle with Pham's two pair in trouble against Rousso's set of jacks. However another queen on the turn changed things around, giving Pham a bigger full house and the massive pot.

Rousso is eliminated as Pham assumes the tournament chip lead with 241,000 chips.
