Bonding Doubles Through Verrett

We approached the table with the cards already out, but we assume that the chips were all in preflop. Steve Verrett was holding pocket sevens but cutting down chips to pay off his short-stacked opponent, Lars Bonding, who held {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} on a board of {10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Bonding doubles up to 210,000 with Verrett now slipping back to 150,000.

Kopp Wins a Monster; Slaubaugh Eliminated

David Pham raised to 29,000 preflop and Brian Slaubaugh reraised all in for his last 100,000. Billy Kopp liked his hand enough to make the call and Pham got out of the way.

Slaubaugh: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Kopp: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

When Slaubaugh couldn't improve on a board of {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}, he departed in 30th place. Kopp, meanwhile, boosted his stack to 870,000.

Darryll Fish Eliminates Robert Leppo

Darryll Fish raised to 20,000 from the cutoff and got called by Robert Leppo from the big blind.

Leppo then check-raised all in after Fish bet 26,000 on a flop of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}. Fish made the call and turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for Broadway while Leppo showed {Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for second pair. When the board ran out {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Leppo's tournament was over in 28th place.

Just before Leppo was busted, Nenad Medic was knocked out of the tournament on another table. He went out 29th.

Steve Verrett Eliminated in 27th Place ($21,026)

Danny Illingworth is unstoppable at the moment as he becomes the first player to crack the magical one million chip mark.

His victim this time was shout box favorite Steve Verrett. The chips were all in preflop with Verrett looking set for a double up holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} against the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} of Illingworth, however he failed to factor in the "run good" of Illingworth as the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{A-Clubs} giving him two pair to eliminate Verrett in 27th place for a collect of $21,026.
