Leo Margets, who earned the honor of "Last woman standing" at the World Series of Poker Main Event, has been eliminated.

The Barcelona native busted out on Day 7 Wednesday in 27th place, earning $352,832. She started the day in 26th place.

Margets re-raised Warren Zackey with Ace-seven off-suit and Zackey called with Ace-ten of hearts.

The flop came four of clubs, eight of diamonds and ten of spades. Needing runners to survive, Margets watched a four of hearts and a two of clubs come next to end her Main Event run.

Action will continue until only nine players remain today before returning on Nov. 10 for the "November Nine" final table.

No previous Main Event champions or November Nine members remain in this year's tournament.
