Connor Drinan Eliminated in 22nd Place ($9,908)

Livello 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ashish Gupta raised to 80,000 on the button and got a call from Connor Drinan in the big blind.

The flop came 6♠A♠K♦ and Drinan checked. Gupta bet 125,000 and Drinan check-raised pot. Gupta raised a bit more to put Drinan all in for about 600,000 total, and he called.

Connor Drinan: 10♥7♣5♠3♠
Ashish Gupta: A♥5♣3♥2♠

Drinan had a spade draw and low draw, but Gupta had the better low draw, along with a pair of aces.

The board completed with the 3♦ on the turn and J♦ on the river, giving Gupta a scoop and sending Drinan to the rail.

Kopp Scoops Linster After Controversial Call

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mike Linster was heads up from the big blind against William Kopp in the cutoff on a completed board of 8♣A♠K♣8♥4♦ with several hundred thousand already in the middle.

Linster checked to Kopp, who announced a pot-sized bet of 845,000. Linster stuck a stack of 100,000-denomination chips into the middle and announced call, but the floor was called due to Linster placing two million worth of chips into the middle before verbally announcing a call.

Eventually, the senior tournament director declared that Linster's action would be ruled a call and Kopp tabled A♣A♥9♦7♣ for aces-full of eights. It was good against the A♦Q♠8♦10♥ for eights-full of aces and Kopp was shipped the massive pot.

Final Break of the Night

Livello 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The last 22 players have been sent on their 15-minute break, which may be extended because of a ruling on the floor that has gone upstairs.

A potentially massive pot between the two largest stacks, William Kopp and Mike Linster hangs in the balance as senior supervisors are called to make a ruling.

Livello 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yuval Bronshtein raised to 75,000 in early position and got a call from Anthony Zinno in the big blind.

On the K♠4♦2♠ flop, Zinno check-called a bet of 50,000 from Bronshtein, and then one for 150,000 on the 9♣ turn.

The players then both checked the J♣ river with Bronshtein declaring "ace-king". Zinno then revealed his A♣A♠Q♦7♠ for an overpaid of aces, which was good to take the pot just before the final break of the evening.

Sokchheka Pho Eliminated in 23rd Place ($9,908); Nitesh Rawtani Eliminated in 24th Place ($8,113)

Livello 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Following the quick elimination of Nitesh Rawtani in the first hand after the redraw, Sokcheka Pho followed shortly after.

Sterling Savill raised to 70,000 in the hijack and got three-bet by Pho in the big blind. Savill called, and after the K♠5♦4♥ flop, Pho moved in for about 100,000 and got called by Savill.

Sokchheka Pho: A♦K♦Q♣3♥
Sterling Savill: A♣J♥9♣2♥

Pho looked primed to at least chop with his pair of kings on the flop, but the K♥ turn and 9♥ river gave Savill a winning flush to scoop the pot and send Pho to the rail.

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Connor Drinan raised to 60,000 in late position and got called by Mike Linster on the button. William Kopp then made it 270,000 from the small blind with only Linster calling.

On the J♥2♠7♠ flop, after Kopp bet 200,000, Linster made it 1,100,000 which got a fold from Kopp. Linster showed A♥4♠3♠ before he dragged the pot.

Just after that, 330,000 was in front of Drinan and Kopp on a turn board of 2♣9♦7♦3♣. Drinan bet the pot under the gun and Kopp then moved all in for 1,190,000. Drinan called.

William Kopp: A♦Q♣7♠2♦
Connor Drinan: 7♥5♠4♦3♥

The board completed with the 5♦ on the river, with Kopp's nut flush and better low scooping a huge pot to leave Drinan on fumes, while blasting back over two million chips himself.

Meanwhile, John Eckhart was eliminated, setting up the three-table redraw.

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a flop of 4♦10♥Q♥, Philipp Krieger checked under the gun and Sterling Lopez bet 65,000 from middle position. Krieger then check-raised to 420,000 and Lopez jammed for 990,000 effective. Krieger called to put himself at risk and one of the biggest pots of the tournament was in progress.

Philipp Krieger: A♦K♠Q♦J♥
Sterling Lopez: K♣K♦10♦10♣

Lopez held middle set against top pair and a wrap for Krieger. The 9♥ on the turn gave Krieger his straight, and with the board failing to pair on the 6♥ river, Krieger dragged a massive pot to vault to near the top of the leaderboard.

Meanwhile, Mauricio Ferreira Pais and Joshua Steiner wer eliminated at adjacent tables, leaving the field one elimination away from the final three table redraw..
