Livello 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Sterling Savill has quite a hike to catch up to his remaining opponents, but he is trying to move his chips in the right direction, while chip leader Michael Rodrigues is doing his best to prevent it.

After quartering Rodrigues to take a small but important pot, Savill was on the button when he called a raise to 400,000 from Rodrigues in the cutoff.

The duo saw a flop of 7♣10♠8♣ which Rodrigues bet the pot on. Savill opted to fold at this point and send back most of the chips he'd won from Rodrigues just a few minutes earlier.

Michael Rodrigues raised to 350,000 under the gun and was called by Sterling Savill on the button and William Kopp in the big blind.

Everyone checked on the A♣2♦10♣ flop and then Kopp bet 800,000 on the 6♣ turn. Only Rodrigues called.

The A♥ completed the board and Kopp check-called a 2,000,000 bet from Rodrigues, who showed Q♣5♣4♥3♦ for a flush and the nut low. It was best against the 5♠5♥3♣3♥ of Kopp and Rodrigues scooped the pot.

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Mike Linster in the big blind, William Kopp under the gun, and Michael Rodrigues each committed 300,000 chips to see a flop of 6♥8♠8♣.

After a check from Linster, Kopp bet 350,000 which got a call from Rodrigues but a fold from Linster.

On the 8♦ turn, Kopp kept coming with a bet of 1,000,000. Again Rodrigues called, setting up the river 2♥.

Kopp now checked and Rodrigues shoved his remaining 3,615,000 stack into the middle.

Kopp thought for a couple of minutes and then made the call.

Rodrigues showed A♥A♦7♠2♣ for a full house of eights full of aces. Kopp showed A♠K♠9♠9♦ for an inferior full house of eights full of nines, sending a massive pot to Rodrigues who takes over the chip lead with that win.

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After a raise from Mike Linster to 250,000 from under the gun, William Kopp made it 930,000 to go from the cutoff.

Joseph McCarthy was left to a decision for his remaining 405,000 in the small blind, and after a minute or so of thought, he moved all in.

Linster folded and left McCarthy's fate to the chip leader.

Joseph McCarthy: A♦Q♠7♦3♥
William Kopp: A♠A♥Q♥5♥

McCarthy told his rail that he had diamonds working for him, with the J♣10♠5♦ flop bringing him one along with a gutshot Broadway draw.

His flush draw got closer with the 8♦ turn, but the Q♣ on the river brought him no further help, keeping Kopp's aces ahead to eliminate McCarthy.

Loni Hui Eliminated in 6th Place ($44,391)

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

A pair of notable hands have led to the elimination of Loni Hui.

First, after limping under the gun, she called a raise to 500,000 from Michael Rodrigues on the button.

Hui called to see a flop of Q♣8♦4♠, then checked and faced a pot-sized bet of 1,380,000 from Rodrigues which barely covered Hui's stack.

Hui opted to fold and choose to fight at another time.

That time came in the following hand, as after a raise to 420,000 from William Kopp under the gun, Hui called in the big blind.

On the Q♠4♥9♠ flop, Hui moved all in for her last 710,000. Kopp called and Hui was at risk.

Loni Hui: A♥Q♦8♠2♣
William Kopp: K♣K♠9♣4♣

Hui's top pair of queens trailed Kopp's kings. The 8♣ on the turn gave Hui hope for a low with her ace-deuce, though it did give Kopp an added flush draw.

The K♥ on the river ended Hui's day, giving Kopp a winning set of kings to extend his significant chip lead.
