Kopczynski opened from early position and was shoved on by a 13 big blind stack from the button. Kopczynski made the call for a significant portion of his own stack but found himself in excellent shape with A♦K♦ vs A♥10♦. The board ran Q♥J♦6♦4♣10♣ and Kopcznski made Broadway and improved to ~1.35M.
That elimination brings the field down to four tables and there will be just nine more eliminations before the field gets a re-draw. Chris Laieta was just moved to Hector Jimenez and Chris Csik’s table and has them both covered with ~4M, the overall chip-lead. Kopcynski is also in that orbit and has all three of the huge stacks on his right, an excellent seat to work from.
