O’Connor Bluffs the Last Hand
In the last hand of the night, Christian Rudolph opened for 2.1 million under the gun. Anton Suarez called from the cutoff and Jamie O’Connor called from the big blind.

The [7d] hit the turn and O’Connor bet 12 million. Suarez tanked for a bit before he folded.
O’Connor showed [6c8c].

Heidorn Immediately Follows Chien to Rail in 13th ($50,000)
Robert Heidorn, nursing an extremely short stack for over an orbit, went all in right after seeing the back of Peter Chien – for just 2,300,000 – after Jack Hardcastle’s preflop open to 2,200,000 with [qx9s]. Big blind Weijie Zheng came along for the ride with [jd7h] as far as the [3d9cah] flop, but folded to Hardcastle’s 1,500,000 bet. Heidorn remained with the best hand over the [3s6c] turn and river, and the Main Event lost back-to-back players.

Peter Chien Eliminated in 14th ($50,000)
Immediately following Carlos Chadha’s bust out, Peter Chien moved all in preflop under the gun with [6c6s] for his 14,300,000. Maria Lampropoulos wasted no time in making the call with [qhqs], which stayed ahead over the [7sac7sjs3s] run-out.

Carlos Chadha Eliminated in 15th place ($50,000)
Carlos Chadha was down to his last 11,700,000 in chips and shoved under the gun plus one. Alex Lindop over shoved from the cutoff and the button and both blinds folded.
Carlos Chadha: [Ah8h]
Alex Lindop: [JdJc]
The flop of [9hQs6s] didn’t bring much hope for Chadha but the [2h] on the turn gave him some hope. The [9d] on the river, though, was a blank and Chadha said his goodbyes whishing the players at the table good luck.

Romero Wins Giant Pot with Big River Call
Robert Heidorn was the preflop raiser (to 2,400,000) with [ks7c], and would go on to fire at every available opportunity. Sole caller James Romero (with [tc9s]) called Heidorn’s continue on the [8s6h2h] flop, then his 6,000,000 bet on the [Ts] turn – which he’d hit.
The river paired the board with the [8d]. Romero used two timebank cards before checking for a third time. Heidorn moved forward most of his stack, a bet of 14,000,000. After thinking for a while more, Romero made the call and was shown Heidorn’s king high, and what it’s like to be the chip leader.

|---|---|---|
| James Romero | 62,400,000 |

Hardcastle Wins a Chunky Pot from Lampropoulos
Chip leader Maria Lampropoulos raised preflop with [tstc] to 1,800,000, called by big blind Jack Hardcastle with [ah5d]. He proceeded to check-call her 1,600,000 bet on the [kd4h6h] flop. The turn was the [9h] and Hardcastle changed tack, leading out for 4,500,000. Lampropoulos made the call. Hardcastle made his ace-high flush on the river with the [3h]. He led again for an even 10,000,000 and Lampropoulos called no more.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Maria Lampropulos | 60,000,000 |

Mikolaj Zawadzki Eliminated in 16th Place ($40,000)
From under the gun plus one, Alex Lindop opened for 1.6 million. The action quickly folded to Mikolaj Zawadzki in the big blind who announced all in. Lindop beat him in the pot.
Alex Lindop: [AhAd]
Mikolaj Zawadzki: [QhQs]
The board ran out [Kd5dJd] [6c] [As] and Zawadzki exited the tournament in 16th place. The remaining 15 players are guaranteed $50,000 from here on out.

Zheng Takes Around a Third of Chien’s Chips
A strange hand played out starting with an under the gun raise by Weijie Zheng to 1,800,000 with [qdqh], called by big blind-defending Peter Chien with [qs6s].
Flop: [ts9d8h]. Chien slowly check-called 2,000,000 from Zheng.
Turn: [Qc]. Another deliberate check, and another call of another 2,000,000.
River: [4s]. Chien checked again and this time Zheng simply showed down his winning top set.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Weijie Zheng | 58,200,000 |
5,200,000 |
| Peter Chien | 12,400,000 |
