update Rake & Herald has confirmed the withdrawal. This will leave the women’s finals without the two top performers in the qualifiers: Miki Sudo (40) & Molly Schuyler (31)
Rake & Herald noticed that the caption for Las Vegas Sun’s gallery of Miki Sudo at Wednesday’s Hooters wing qualifier announces that she has withdrawn from Thursday’s Nathan’s finals (She will compete in the Hooters finals).
Rich Shea made no mention of Miki withdrawing on his interview on ESPN’s Mike & Mike show earlier this morning.
The withdrawal notice did not appear on the original caption of the gallery which is available in the Google Cache (date June 28)
If the withdrawal is not of Miki’s volition, she has the option of filing a complaint with the Nevada Gaming Control Board that a contest held on casino grounds reneged on its prize.

Pix11 video of qualifier, miscaptioned as having taken place in Coney Island.
Andrew Kossuth reports that Prudence from NY was the female winner with a total of 6. (She was not the sole female competing)
Tim “Eater X” Janus won the contest with 50 hot dogs. This is the highest qualifier total of 2013.
This might be the female winner / possible sole participant.
The qualifier to be held before today’s New York Mets game vs. the Washington Nationals has received minimal publicity; it does not appear to even be mentioned on http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/The game time is 1:10 so the qualifier will have an early start.
Andrew Kossuth is the only expected entrant besides Tim Janus.
