Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

"DJ what are you doing to me?" said Katie Kopp on the end of losing a large pot where her pocket queens were defeated by pocket jacks.

Her tablemate Daniel "DJ" Swartz was providing his usual colorful commentary of the tournament, and occasionally shouting over updates to her brother and fellow bracelet winner William "Billy" Kopp.

The very next hand, Kopp moved all in from the cutoff for 65,000 and in the small blind, Jonathan Vaughn moved all in for more and Anthony Carbone folded.

Katie Kopp: 10♠9♠
Jonathan Vaughn: J♥J♣

The flop of Q♥10♥3♣ gave Kopp some outs to win and the turn 9♦ came to give Kopp tens up. Her brother just walked over to sweat before the river came out the J♠ to give Vaughn a set of jacks and he took down the pot.

"DJ our relationship is over," Kopp joked to Swartz as she exited the tournament.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Anthony Carbone raised to 20,000 in middle position and in the hijack, Kenneth Sindoni moved all in for 81,000 which saw action fold back to Carbone who called.

Kenneth Sindoni: A♣10♣
Anthony Carbone: 6♣6♥

The board ran out J♥6♦Q♥3♥Q♦ and the set of sixes was good for Carbone to take down the pot and eliminated Sindoni.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joshua Rivera moved all in for 76,000 in first position which saw Mark Scheeler call from middle position and Justin Daley called in late position.

On the flop of 2♣5♣J♠, Scheeler bet 75,000 and Daley responded by moving all in for 410,000 which Scheeler called.

Joshua Rivera: A♦10♦
Justin Daley: A♣Q♣
Mark Scheeler: 5♠5♦

The board ran out 8♠9♦ and the set of fives held up against Daley's flush draw which put him into a commanding chip lead of the tournament.
