Vannesa Selbst Eliminated In 18th Place ($23,519)
In what is undoubtedly the biggest pot of the tournament so far, Vanessa Selbst has been eliminated in 18th place.
From late position, Selbst raised it up to 18,000 preflop and got a call from Steven Merrifield in the cutoff and Greg Brooks in the big blind. The flop came down 
and Brooks bet out 38,000. Selbst in middle position then raised it to 104,000 and Merrifield folded. Brooks thought about it for a little while and then re-raised to 203,000. Selbst then re-raised the pot and Brooks called putting her all in.
Selbst turned over 
for a trip threes with the ace kicker, and Brooks showed 
for trip threes with a king kicker.
It all changed on the turn though when the 
fell and gave Brooks a full house. Selbst cringed as she realized her fate, and the river 
sent her to the rail in 18th place.
After the hand Brooks has nearly double that of second place with 1,300,000.
