Action folded to Stephen Chidwick in the hijack and he raised to 2,500. Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst then three-bet all in for 22,300 from the cutoff, the button and blinds all folded, and Chidwick gave it some thought before dropping in a call.
Chidwick:
Selbst:
Chidwick was ahead, but Selbst was drawing to two live cards. When the flop failed to deliver, Selbst began to stand. The turn gave her pause, but alas it wasn't the paint card she needed.

Meanwhile, Tobias Reinkemeier was eliminated by Jeff Rossiter in unknown action.
Paul Klann's timing was way off when he made a move with a pair and straight draw as Philipp Gruissem had just made the nuts when he did so.
Gruissem raised to 3,000 from early position and was only called by Klann on the button. Gruissem fired 4,500 on the flop and made another bet on the turn before immediately calling after Klann shoved. Klann opened queen-ten and was drawing dead to his German opponent's .
