Aaron Kupin Eliminated in 9th Place ($102,599)
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jesse Lonis opened to 240,000 from the cutoff and called a three-bet of 780,000 from Aaron Kupin, who was in the big blind.
Kupin moved all in for approximately 1,200,000 on the 10♣6♥Q♠ flop and Lonis quickly called to put him at risk.
Aaron Kupin: A♥A♣7♣6♠
Jesse Lonis: J♣9♣7♥5♠
Kupin was looking to hold with his aces, but the K♦ turn immediately filled Lonis's straight draw to leave Kupin drawing dead.
The 4♠ fell on the river — making Kupin's elimination in ninth place official.
"I think this is the first time I've lost the chip lead the whole tournament!" Michael Mizrachi said from across the table.
