Aditya Agarwal is among the tournament chip leaders and he just laddered even closer to the pole position, which is believed to be currently occupied by either Matt Berkey or Justin Bonomo.
Agarwal's latest victory emerged when he defended his big blind over a 5,200 raise from the button, provided Joseph Di Rosa Rojas.
The fell on the flop and Agarwal check-called another 5,000 before the turn went check-check.
The on the river double-paired the board and Agarwal opted to lead big. He took some of his orange chips worth 5,000 apiece and then slid forward an overbet of 32,000. Rojas contemplated for a bit but he eventually wasn't willing to pay.

Sylvain Loosli, on the big blind, bet 22,500 and was called by Ka Kwan Lau sitting on the under the gun position.

The following players have been eliminated. Each have earned cash of $2,496. Notables busting recently include Scott Montgomery, Tim Reilly, Sam Grafton, Cate Hall, Thomas Taylor, Shannon Shorr, and Cary Katz.
Looking at Matt Berkey's stack, it's fair to say that there haven't been many players who would successfully tangle with the American high roller in the Event #16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed.
But Mark Soik might be one of the few who have the vibes to avoid Berkey's domination. Soik doubled through Berkey earlier in this level, hitting a straight with king-queen against Berkey's ace-nine.
That victory clearly wasn't enough for Soik, who doubled through Berkey once again just a few moments ago. Soik had a worse starting hand again, and it was a bigger problem this time as he was in only about a 20-percent shape to scoop the pot.
Sporting the Green Bay Packers jacket, Soik was all in with for 26,300, trailing to Berkey's . The flop kept Berkey in lead but Soik hit his bingo on the turn. The on the river sealed the deal for Soik.
He apologized for cracking Berkey, but he took the bad beat very well. It was only a minor sting as Berkey is still crushing with close to 300,000 in chips.
