Billy Kopp has just eliminated John Martin from the Main Event, and in doing so, he's skyrocketed to the top of the leaderboard. Here's how the hand went down:

Kopp opened the pot with a raise to 125,000 from under-the-gun and was called by both Luis Nargentino (hijack) and Martin (cutoff).

The flop came {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and the action was checked to Martin who led out with a 250,000 bet. Kopp was the lone caller and he and Martin went heads-up to 4th Street, which brought the {K-Diamonds}.

Kopp again passed the first action to Martin, who led out with a 500,000 bet. Kopp then check-raised to 2,325,000 and Martin responded by moving all in for an additional 300k. Kopp made the call and tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for bottom set; Martin revealed {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for open-ended straight and flush draws.

The {J-Spades} fell on 5th Street, and Kopp's set of sixes reigned supreme, sending Martin home in 57th place.

Kopp stacked up 11,160,000 in chips after the hand.
