If we were going to make a prediction now that play is three-handed, it would be this: Vanessa Selbst is going to find a new, higher gear. Mike Woods opened to 275,000 from the button. Selbst, sitting in the small blind, three-bet to 850,000. Woods called, then folded to a bet of 620,000 on a {6-Clubs}

flop.

Mike Woods raised to 240,000 from the button and then Scott Seiver moved all in for 1.445 million from the big blind. Due to Alistar Melville's elimination on the last hand, there was a dead small blind for this hand. Woods would need to call 1.205 million more if he wants to call. Remember, Seiver had shoved four times prior to this with no calls.

Woods tanked and then made the call. Here's what the hands were when the cards were revealed.

Seiver: {4-Clubs}

Woods:

The flop came down {A-Spades}

and Woods found an ace in the forrest to take the lead. The turn was the {Q-Spades}

and no help for Seiver. Neither player held a spade. The river completed the board with the {7-Diamonds}

and that was it for Seiver.

Finishing in fourth place, Seiver earned $190,000 for his finish.

Mike Beasley opened to 225,000 on the button, and Mike Woods folded his small blind. Then from the big blind, Alistar Melville announced he was all in, and Beasley instantly called. Melville was at risk, and his last 1.025 million was on the line with his best hand.

Showdown
Melville: {Q-Hearts}

Beasley:

The flop was bad news for Melville. {A-Spades}

. His fans were calling for backdoor spades, but the {6-Diamonds}

on the turn left him drawing to the case queen. "Pair the board! Pair the board!" shouted Beasley's friend, 32nd-place finisher David Fox. And Fox got his wish when the dealer laid the {3-Diamonds}

on the river. Melville is out in fifth place, earning $150,000.

If a club had come on the river of a hand between Vanessa Selbst and Mike Woods, things could have gotten very interesting. Selbst limped the button in front of Mike Beasley in the small blind. He completed, Woods checked, and away the went, three to the flop.

The two Mikes checked to Selbst on a flop of {10-Hearts}

. She bet 165,000. Beasley folded; Woods called. Woods and Selbst checked the {Q-Spades}

turn and

river. Woods took down the pot with {Q-Clubs}

, a pair of queens; Selbst showed a pair of jacks {J-Clubs}

with a smaller flush draw.

Another Shove for Seiver

Scott Seiver just moved all in again preflop and didn't get a call. That marks the fourth time he's moved in preflop and no one has called him. It's going to be hard to get chips if no one calls him, but it's also going to be harder to bust.
