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)

Michael Cohen

James Calderaro raised under the gun, Michael Cohen called UTG+1, and Francisco Gomez called from the small blind.

The flop came 10c8h3d, and it checked to Cohen, who bet 42,000. Gomez check-raised to 170,000, and Calderaro folded. Cohen thought for a while before he called.

The turn card was the 6d, Gomez moved all in for about 560,000, and Cohen snap-called with 10h10d for a set of tens. Gomez was reluctant to turn over his cards, saying he was drawing dead, but since it was an all-in situation, he had to show. He turned over AdQh for an ace-high bluff, and he was, in fact, drawing dead.

The meaningless river card was the 5h, and Cohen won the pot to double up in chips.

Michael Cohen  –  950,000  (79 bb)
Francisco Gomez  –  318,000  (27 bb)

Thomas Boyden
