Selbst Eliminated by Kabbaj
Vanessa Selbst limped in from under the gun plus one and then Matthew Greenwood raised to 22,500 from middle position. Sami Kelopuro called from the cutoff seat and John Kabbaj called from the small blind. Selbst also made the call to make for four-way action on the flop.
The flop came down 
and action was on Kabbaj. Selbst actually started moving her chips in, not realizing action was still on Kabbaj. Kabbaj thought for a minute and then bet the pot for 95,000. Selbst called all in for 71,500 and Greenwood folded. When Greenwood folded, he claimed that he must be drawing dead and left himself with just 26,000 in chips. Kelopuro then tanked for a bit, but eventually folded his hand, leaving Kabbaj to do battle with Selbst.
Selbst turned over the 
for sevens and fives. She was at risk against the 
for Kabbaj, which was top pair, a gutter ball and a backdoor flush draw. He also had overcards to make a better two pair.
The turn was the 
and the river the 
. The nine on the river gave Kabbaj jacks and nines, which beat Selbst's sevens and fives to eliminate her from the tournament short of the money.
