With Rubinstein having the on-board lead throughout, first action fell to Taylor and she check-called bets from Kupin the entire way up until seventh street where she led out. Kupin called.
Taylor showed for a nine-high straight with a 7-6 low, while Kupin tabled for a 7-5 low.
Rubinstein couldn’t beat either with for a pair of aces, ending his tournament.
Aaron Kupin – 94,000 (8 big bets)
Esther Taylor – 85,000 (7 big bets)
Donny Rubinstein – Eliminated
With 12 players remaining, the average stack is 130,000 (about 11 big bets). Only 10 players will cash, and Day 1 will conclude when the final table of nine players is reached.
