A player in middle position raised to 26,000, David Tuthill called from the hijack, the player in the cutoff called, and Kate Kopp called from the small blind.

The flop came Kh9h5s, and Kopp bet 60,000. The next player folded, Tuthill called, and the cutoff folded.

The turn card was the As, Kopp moved all in for about 170,000, and Tuthill snap-called with KsKc for a set of kings. Kopp turned over 5h5d for a set of fives, and she needed to catch the case five to stay alive.

The river card was the 6d, and Tuthill won the pot with his set of kings to eliminate Kopp in 55th place.

David Tuthill  –  849,000  (71 bb)
Kate Kopp  –  Eliminated in 55th Place  ($4,141)

At another table, Aaron Massey raised under the gun to 27,000, a player called from middle position, and Constantinos Psallidas moved all in from the button for exactly 300,000. Massey called, and the third player folded.

Psallidas turned over AhKs, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Massey’s JdJc.

The board came 9d8d2sKh4c, and Psallidas paired his king on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Constantinos Psallidas  –  657,000  (55 bb)
Aaron Massey  –  375,000  (30 bb)

With 53 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 658,000 (55 big blinds), and the remaining players are all guaranteed at least $4,630 each.
