Scotty is hunting for another trophy.

Some great tournament players just missed the cut yesterday, as Jennifer Harman and Freddie Deeb were last to be eliminated in 11th place and 12th place. Today players are going to battle for six places in tomorrows televised final table.

Harman was eliminated in a very unlucky way. In the final hand of her tournament she called preflop all-in with a pair of aces and was up against a Ten-Deuce suited hand of Yevgeniy Timoshenko. Timoshenko flopped a pair of deuces and on the turn disaster struck as it was a ten that gave two pair to Timoshenko. The river was blank and Harman was eliminated from the tournament.

1. Scotty Nguyen — 5,880,000
