Matthew Wilkins Eliminated in 17th Place ($24,675)

Amid the tension that comes with there being just two tables remaining, we've lost short-stacker Matthew Wilkins who pushed all in from middle position for a total of 182,000. All but one stepped aside, Ashira Lavine looking him up with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Wilkins could only muster {J-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop looked clinical, but hope glimmered on the {10-Spades} turn as Wilkins was blessed with both a flush and inside straight draw. However, neither arrived on a blank {5-Hearts} turn, and the only female player left in the event took both the pot, and the scalp. 16 remain.
