Mark Zullo Eliminated in 53rd Place ($156,265)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Mark Zullo
Mark Zullo

Antoine Labat raised to 275,000 from early position, Mark Zullo three-bet shoved 2,650,000 from the big blind, and Labat instantly called.

Mark Zullo: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Antoine Labat: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop all but decided it, and Zullo was left drawing to a chop. Neither the {3-Spades} turn nor {Q-Diamonds} river brought the escape, and Zullo made his exit in 53rd place. The Ohio native received $156,265 for his accomplishment.

Nirath Rean

Ubaid Habib opened to 260,000 from middle position. Alexander Haro called on the button and Nirath Rean defended his big blind.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} and Rean bet 375,000. Habib folded and Haro called. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and Rean check-called a bet of 700,000.

The river was the {q-Hearts}. Rean checked and Haro bet 2,000,000. Rean took several minutes before the clock was called on him. However, no sooner had the floor commenced the countdown, and Rean called.

"You win," said Haro, tabling {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Rean showed {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and chipped up considerably after picking off Haro's river bluff.

Alex Lynskey raised to 250,000 from middle position, Randall Lack three-bet to 650,000 from the button, and Mark Stockton four-bet shoved from the small blind for 970,000. Paulo Goncalves called out of the big blind, Lynskey folded, and Lack called.

Both Goncalves and Lack proceeded to check down a board of {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Stockton tabled {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Lack, though, showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, besting Goncalves' {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Stockton's queen to eliminate Stockton in 52nd place.

Haro Wins Verbal Exchange From Fletcher

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

After Alexander Haro had opened from the hijack, Clayton Fletcher three-bet to 1,000,000 in the cutoff and Haro called. The flop was {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

"I check," Haro said.

"I also check," Fletcher quickly responded. The turn brought the {2-Clubs}.

"Five hundred," Haro announced and Fletcher called.

The river brought the {K-Clubs} and without hesitation, Haro verbally announced two million.

"Big pot, biiiig pot," Fletcher said before folding. Haro quickly slapped {8-Spades}{7-Spades} open for a mere eight-high.

"I never have it," Haro stated as he raked in the pot.

"I fold two queens," Fletcher said to end the verbal exchange.

Nghia Le raised to 240,000 from under the gun and Alexander Haro three-bet to 800,000 from middle position. Mike Jukich was in the big blind and four-bet all in for just over 10 big blinds. Le thought before moving all in and Haro called, putting both players at risk.

Mike Jukich: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Nghia Le: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Alexander Haro: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} with Jukich eliminated, and Le doubled through Haro.

Kelly Minkin
Kelly Minkin

Kelly Minkin has been waiting patiently on the feature table and just found a spot to make a move. Frederik Jensen raised to 250,000 from middle position, and when the action folded to Minkin in the big blind, she moved all in for 1.8 million. Jensen wasn't prepared to make the call and let his hand go.

Zobian "Always Has It"

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

On the tail end of a bigger pot to the {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} river, Antoine Labat checked out of the big blind and Aram Zobian bet 1 million from early position. "Do you have it?" Labat asked and eventually folded.

"I always have it," Zobian replied.

Zobian then raised from under the gun and was called by Jeff Trudeau and Henrik Hecklen in the big blind. Picking up the action on the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} turn, Hecklen bet 350,000 and Zobian called, as did Trudeau. The {Q-Clubs} fell on the river and Hecklen checked, Zobian made it 885,000 to go, and that forced a quick fold from Trudeau.

Hecklen gave it some thought and called, and Zobian turned over the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for trips kings to claim another big pot.

Kelly Minkin Eliminated in 50th Place ($156,265)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Kelly Minkin
Kelly Minkin

The action folded around to Kelly Minkin on the button, and she raised to 255,000. Frederik Jensen was in the small blind and raised to 715,000. Bart Lybaert folded in the big blind, and the action was back on Minkin.

Minkin made her move and shoved all in for 2.23m. Jensen made the call, and Minkin saw she needed help from the board once more.

Kelly Minkin: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Frederik Jensen: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Minkin picked up additional outs on the flop when the king and queen appeared to give her a gutshot straight draw. But the board bricked for Minkin, and her elimination in 50th place for $156,265 was confirmed as the Amazon room gave her a loud round of applause for her efforts.

Minkin also had the honor of being named the longest lasting female player in the WSOP Main Event for the second time in four years.
