Woe is Wantman

Phil Collins is oh-so-close to the seven-million chip mark after eliminating Matthew Wantman from the ESPN feature table.

The action folded around to Collins who raised to 55,000 from the hijack position before Wantman shoved from the big blind for 378,000 holding {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Collins called, showing down {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}, but despite both players pairing up on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, Collins still had the lead.

Still, Wantman now had the flush outs, but the turn and river ran black ({4-Clubs}, {3-Clubs}) and Wantman's WSOP Main Event is over.
