Today’s Action
The eliminations were coming in in abundance from all corners of the Miranda Room here at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Players like Georgios Sotiropoulos, Daniel Dizenzo, Andrew Teng, Tom McEvoy, Aurelie Reard, Kunal Patni, Dong Chen, Jeremy Ausmus, and Chen An Lin were all eliminated before the final three tables were being redrawn.
It then took less than an hour before the final eighteen players were known and redrawn again for the final two tables. Ian Steinman called Barber’s shove for his last nine million with pocket eights. Barber held the ducks and found another one on the turn to eliminate Steinman. Barber also took out Oswin Ziegelbecker in fifteenth place when Barber called the four-bet shove of Ziegelbecker with pocket kings. Ziegelbecker held ace-king and got no help of the board.
If you thought things were going fast already, the slew of eliminations kept going as the final eight players were reached 50 minutes later, even with a 15-minute break in between. Brazil’s Diego Lima fell in ninth place for $41,965 when he shoved with king-jack. Unfortunately for him, Depaulo held pocket kings and held throughout the board to bring only eight players to the final table instead of nine.
The eight remaining players played six hands before it was decided that they would bag up their chips for the final day on Sunday, June 30, to play down to a winner from noon local time with 19 minutes left in Level 42 which features a small blind of 1,000,000, big blind of 2,000,000, and a big blind ante of 2,000,000. They are also all guaranteed to cash for at least $53,925 when they return to the feature table to battle it out.
The final table will be streamed on CBS All Access from 1 p.m. local time with the hole cards exposed. As usual, the PokerNews live reporting team will be providing hand-for-hand coverage until the final cards have been dealt, so make sure to return.
