Massive reversal ruins Leo Margets' dream of winning WSOP Main Event
WSOP Main Event: Leo Margets Falls in Seventh Place
Leo Margets, a history-making competitor, has been eliminated from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, finishing in seventh place. Margets, the second woman in WSOP history to reach the Main Event final table, was bidding to become the first woman ever to win the prestigious event.
The turning point for Margets came when she was all-in with a stack of 38 million chips. In a fateful hand, Kenny Hallaert held a pair of sixes (6-6) and eliminated Margets with a 9 (9) on the turn and a 10 (10) on the river.
The elimination of Margets instantly drained energy from the WSOP Main Event room, as the crowd watched history almost be made. Margets' run at the Main Event was not without its highlights, as she made it to the final table, a feat not achieved by a woman in 30 years.
As Margets' journey comes to an end, the final table is now set. The chip leader is Michael Mizrachi with a massive 160,000,000 chips, followed closely by Kenny Hallaert with 139,900,000 chips. Mizrachi's impressive performance includes a massive pot against John Wasnock, currently holding the second-largest chip stack.
