Loni Hui Eliminated in 6th Place ($44,391)
A pair of notable hands have led to the elimination of Loni Hui.
First, after limping under the gun, she called a raise to 500,000 from Michael Rodrigues on the button.
Hui called to see a flop of Q?8?4?, then checked and faced a pot-sized bet of 1,380,000 from Rodrigues which barely covered Hui's stack.
Hui opted to fold and choose to fight at another time.
That time came in the following hand, as after a raise to 420,000 from William Kopp under the gun, Hui called in the big blind.
On the Q?4?9? flop, Hui moved all in for her last 710,000. Kopp called and Hui was at risk.
Loni Hui: A?Q?8?2?
William Kopp: K?K?9?4?
Hui's top pair of queens trailed Kopp's kings. The 8? on the turn gave Hui hope for a low with her ace-deuce, though it did give Kopp an added flush draw.
The K? on the river ended Hui's day, giving Kopp a winning set of kings to extend his significant chip lead.
