Maya Gellar Eliminated

Another beauty falls
Another beauty falls
Maya Gellar pushed the last of her remaining short-stack into the middle and found a caller out of the small blind.

Gellar: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

In a dominant shape to double up, the flop of {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts} would shock both the table and Gellar as it sent the ladies into bouts of screaming.

Those screams would then be let out again when the {Q-Spades} landed on the turn to see Gellar make a full house and be left with just one-out to stay alive.

Paint would fall on the river, but it wouldn't be to the comfort of Gellar as it was the {K-Hearts} that dropped to see her head to the rail.
