[Removed:197] El-iminated

[Removed:197] (on Day 2) - Out
[Removed:197] (on Day 2) - Out
Under the gun, Billy Kopp opened with a raise to 52,000. Dennis Phillips made the call, and [Removed:197] reraised to what appeared to be 173,000. When it came back around to Kopp, he made yet another raise, sliding out a total of 506,000. Phillips quickly folded, and [Removed:198] moved all in for a total of 1,325,000. Kopp snap-called, never a good sign.

Showdown
Kopp: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}
[Removed:198]: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

With a huge pot up for grabs, [Removed:198] was in bad shape for his tournament life. The board would run out dry like the desert wind: {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {3-Spades}. Aces are good for Kopp, queens are not so good for [Removed:198], and he has been sent to the exit. Billy Kopp is running hot, up to 4,660,000 and battling for the chip lead now.
