Nicholas Tsoukalas Eliminated in 5th Place
($29,384)

—

Andrew Beversdorf chose to raise when he was folded to on the cutoff, and action got back round to Nicholas Tsoulakas in the big blind. He decided to defend.

Tsoulakas then checked the Q♦A♥8♥flop over to Beversdorf, who went for a continuation-bet. Tsoulakas had sprung the trap, though, and check-raised. The players clearly couldn't wait to get their stacks in, as Beversdorf three-bet, Tsoulakas four-bet, and Beversdorf maxed it out with another raise. Tsoulakas had no choice but to call.

On the 9♠ turn, Tsoulakas bet, leaving himself only a single 5,000 denomination chip behind. Beversdorf then went all in, only covering Tsoulakas by 5,000, and was called, as Tsoulakas said "we might have the same hand"

Nicholas Tsoulakas: J♥6♥ All in
Andrew Beversdorf: A♦Q♥

Tsoulakas missed his draws on the 4♣river, and exited the tournament area.

Bobbi Harrell Eliminated in 6th Place
($21,324)

—
Bobbi Harrell raised from the small blind when action had folded to her, and Jason Duong defended his big blind.

On the J♥6♥Q♦ flop, Harrell continued her aggression and made a bet, which was called by Duong. She bet again on the Q♥ turn, but this time Duong raised, which was enough to put Harrell all in. She made the call, and saw the bad news as Duong let her know that he "had a queen"

Bobbi Harrell: A♠J♣ All in
Jason Duong: Q♠10♠

The river A♣
just added insult to injury, as no card in the deck would've kept Harrell alive on the final table. She left her first WSOP bracelet event with a very respectable score, however, and will now make it on time for her 7:15 p.m. flight. Her husband on the rail, although disappointed, was pleased that he wouldn't have to rebook.

Robinson Takes the Chip Lead

($15,798)

—

David Rogers: 3♣3♠All in
Adam Tyburski: A♦Q♣

Rogers was ahead to begin the runout, but the 4♣5♠Q♠ flop changed that. The 2♠ turn created a sweat, giving Rogers some flush and straight outs, but the 5♥bricked on the river to send him out of the tournament.

Double for Duong

—

Jason Duong opened from under the gun and was raised by Bobbi Harrell in the big blind. Duong came along with a call.

Harrell fired on the 8♦3♠10♠
flop and was called yet again by Duong.

Another bet from Harrell occurred on the 2♥ turn, which resulted in another call from Duong.

The 6♥ did not slow Harrell down as she bet, but Harrell was raised all in for slightly more by Duong. Harrell called and was shown the 6♦6♣ by Duong for a set of sixes which was more than enough to topple Harrell's A♣K♥.

Rogers Hits Huge Flop

—

Jason Duong and David Rogers got into another battle, as Duong put in a raise from the cutoff, and Rogers decided to defend his big blind, leaving less than a big bet behind.

On a flop of 9♠6♠5♠ Duong opted for a continuation-bet after being checked to, and Rogers then placed in the rest of his stack. Duong realised he only had to place in less than the amount of a small bet to call, and did so.

David Rogers: K♠2♠ All in
Jason Duong: A♣9♦

Rogers showed that he had got the dream flop, and had Duong drawing to runner-runner. The turn 2♥ sealed his double up, and he apologised to the rest of the table on the 10♥ river, as he denied them all a pay jump.
