The action has been relatively light since the elimination of Johnathan Norris in fifth place.

With about 20 minutes remaining in the level, Steve Karp completed the small blind to 400,000, Carlos Loving raised from the big blind to 1,400,000, and Karp called.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of 10s10d4cQd, Karp checked, Loving bet 800,000, and Karp called.

The river card was the Ah, Karp bet 2,200,000, and Loving thought for a moment before he called. Karp showed KsJs to win the pot with an ace-high straight, and Loving mucked.

Steve Karp  –  35,500,000  (89 bb)
Carlos Loving  –  10,500,000  (26 bb)
