Daniel Weinman
Daniel Weinman

Tim Van Loo raised to 225,000 with QQ and Masato Yokosawa called holding 109. Chris Lee, with JJ, then moved all in from the button for 1,440,000 and Daniel Weinman called with AK in the big blind. Van Loo also called with his queens, while Yokosawa folded.

The flop came 9AA and Weinman led out for 800,000. Van Loo called to create a side pot as the 6 fell on the turn, where Weinman bet another 1,250,000.

Van Loo folded this time, and Weinman's trip aces took out Lee's jacks once the 8 completed the board on the river.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Nikita Luther
Nikita Luther

Nikita Luther was all in for her last 2,285,000 in the small blind and up against Andrew Hulme in middle position.

Nikita Luther: AK
Andrew Hulme: AQ

Luther had Hulme dominated and was a favorite to double up as the flop came 552. The turn, though, brought the Q and Hulme came from behind to leave Luther a card away from elimination.

The 9 fell on the river and Luther was sent to the rail, leaving Estelle Cohuet as the last woman remaining.

Dea Gets Three-Bet Respect; Cohuet Confirmed as Last Woman Standing

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Estelle Cohuet
Estelle Cohuet

Sachin Joshi opened to 220,000 from under the gun before Andrew Dea made it 650,000. Mark Teltscher asked Dea how much he had behind and after it was confirmed, the Brit opted to fold.

Action folded back to Joshi, who decided to give his opponent some respect and open-folded his A10.

"Pretty hand," said Joshi as he tossed his cards in the muck.

As the hand was playing out, Dea asked Estelle Cohuet if she was the last woman standing. Joshi pointed out Nikita Luther was also still in. However, as he finished his sentence, the elimination of Luther was confirmed over the loudspeaker.

The table congratulated Cohuet on being the final remaining woman in the Main Event. However, she noted that she didn't just want to be the last woman standing, but the last player standing.

Cohuet is a force to be reckoned with as she was one of the winners in Winamax's Top Shark event.

Anirban Das
Anirban Das

Anirban Das opened to 240,000 in middle position and Juan Maceiras Lapido defended out of the big blind.

Lapido checked on the flop of Q10Q and Das checked back. Lapido then bet 400,000 on the 3 turn and Das called.

The 6 river completed the board and Lapido threw out a bet of 1,600,000 that included three 500,000-chips. Das responded by pushing out two stacks of 100,000-chips for a raise to 4,000,000.

Lapido snap-folded and Das kept him guessing by revealing the A.

Jachtmann Puts Berko In the Tank, on the Clock

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jan-Peter Jachtmann
Jan-Peter Jachtmann

The action was picked up in a pot of roughly 2,000,000 on a flop showing K108. Scott Berko fired for 500,000 from the small blind and Jan-Peter Jachtmann slid out a raise to 2,000,000.

"I'm going to be awhile guys," Berko said as he crawled deep into the tank. After close to four minutes, Jachtmann called the clock on Berko, who then had 30 seconds to act.

As the clock ticked down, Berko made the fold with a few seconds left and Jachtmann scooped the large pot to bring his stack over 10 million.

Things got heated at the table between Jachtmann and Berko, who continued to argue after the hand about when a reasonable amount of time is to call the clock.

Kothari Folds QUEENS

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Harsheel Kothari
Harsheel Kothari

Harsheel Kothari opened to 300,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Mitchell Halverson in the small blind, who raised to 2,000,000, leaving 560,000 behind.

Kothari was immediately pained and began counting out his stack. He narrowly covered Halverson and continued to mull over his options for a few minutes.

Kothari asked Halverson if he would show and received no reply.

"This would be a sick fold," Kothari said. "Nothing will compare."

In the end, he returned his cards to the dealer.

Halverson asked if he had a big hand and Kothari said he did. The pair agreed to both show their holdings.

Kothari turned over QQ for pocket queens while Halverson got away with one as he was behind with AJ.

"Love that fold bro," remarked Halverson while scooping in the pot.

The table joked that the ace was coming anyway so Kothari did himself a favor.
