Fabio Coppola Eliminated in 9th Place ($26,223)

Herbie Teope

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Fabio Coppola was in good spirits as the players moved to the featured table at the Horseshoe. He even took a group photo with the final 10 players before the cards were dealt.

He got serious on the first hand, though, and moved all in under the gun as the shortest stack at the table.

Players folded to Andres Morales, who was in the big blind and the second-shortest stack at the table. Morales made the call.

Coppola: A♥3♣
Morales: A♦7♥

The dealer placed K♦5♦4♠ on the board, and then both players paired their ace when A♠ arrived on the turn. The river saw 10♥ hit the board, and Morales’ seven kicker played to win the hand.

Coppola was sent to the rail in ninth place for $33,274.

Sachin Bhargava Eliminated in 13th Place ($20,824)

Claudio Elizalde

Level 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Sachin Bhargava went all in for a bit more than 7,000,000 in chips and was called by Robert Gittelman on the button.

Sachin Bhargava: A♥9♦
Robert Gittelman: A♣4♣

Bhargava was in good shape to double up, but always a sweat, the board came 7♣6♠K♣ - giving Gittelman a flush draw. At this point Bhargava is standing up and the 7♦ came clean. Gittelman pleaded for his flush draw and when the 10♣ fell on the river, he burst into celebration.

Bhargava has over $300,000 in tournament cashes and we're sure this won't be the last of him we see this series.

Durmer: A♠9♠
Li: A♣Q♥

“I need a lot of black,” Durmer said when he saw Li’s hand.

Brian Chanley went all in from middle position and was called by Kenneth O'Donnell in the small blind. It proved to be an honest race when the cards were on their back.

Brian Chanley: 8♥8♠
Kenneth O'Donnell: A♥10♦

Chanley knew it was a sweat, but when the flop came 5♥A♠10♣ it knocked the wind out of his sails. The K♥ on the turn and the 6♣ on the river didn't help him.

Gregory remained ahead after the dealer placed 6♦9♣3♣ on the board, but A♦ on the turn put Probasco in command of the hand. The 6♣ on the river sent Gregory to the rail in 18th place for $13,438.

Unfortunately, she ran into a cooler.

Ka Chun Kan to her immediate right raised in middle position. Iermolcheva peeked down at her hand and without hesitation three-bet to move all in. The rest of the table folded, and Kan immediately called.
