Aaron Overton Eliminated in 7th Place ($50,000)
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
In a battle of the blinds, Aaron Overton open-shoved for about 530,000, and Vanessa Selbst made the call next door with her big stack and a chance at the knockout.
Showdown
Overton:
Selbst:
The flop was not good news for Overton as Selbst found top pair to take a huge lead with two to come. Overton's best shot now was to find one of the jacks in the deck to make Broadway.
He'd lose one of those outs as the turn killed the jack of hearts as a potential out, and Overton was one card from the door.
River: .
That's not going to get Overton over the hump, and the Day 2 chip leader has fallen in seventh place. That's good for $50,000, and we're down to our final six player.
Selbst is up to 2.83 million with that knockout.
