Level 21: 12,000-24,000, 3,000 ante
Hand #126 - Vadim Trincher raises under the gun to 60,000, William Botchis tanks in late position before he moves all in. Joe Raposa says "Oh no," and gets out of his seat in the cutoff. "Oh man." Raposa moves all in over the top of Botchis.
It's folded back to Trincher, who insta-calls with A
A
. Raposa shows J
J, and Botchis shows 99. The two shorter stacks will need to improve, or they face a double-elimination on the TV bubble.
The board comes 87
527, and Trincher wins the pot with his pocket aces.
William Botchis, as the short stack, is eliminated in seventh place, earning $68,235.
Joe Raposa is eliminated in sixth place, earning $85,292.
The remaining five players are guaranteed at least $106,007, and they'll return tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 pm ET for the televised WPT Final Table. Stay tuned for official chip counts.

Hand #7 - Vadim Trincher raises from late position to 30,000, Joe Raposa moves all in from the big blind for 158,000, and Trincher calls with 55. Raposa shows QQ, and he'll need them to hold up to stay alive.

Level 8: 600-1,200, 200 ante
Two of the chip leaders, Hoyt Corkins and Joe Raposa, clash in a pot where the board reads 87564. With a significant amount in the pot already, action slows on the river when the straight comes. Raposa shows pocket tens while Hoyt shows pocket jacks. With both Raposa and Corkins playing an overpair to the board, we could have seen a 400,000 pot if that river card didn't freeze the action. Instead, they chop the pot and both remain at the top of the leaderboard.
Hoyt Corkins - 190,000
Joe Raposa - 310,000
Level 8: 600-1,200, 200 ante
Joe Raposa appears to be the current overwhelming chip leader with 310,000. Raposa gained many of his chips last level in three specific hands. First, he cracked an opponet's aces while holding 9-7, then Raposa caught a huge Nick Saxton river bluff after Saxton missed a flush draw. Finally, he busted his friend in the following hand:
Action folds to Joe Raposa on the button who raises to 3,500. Mike Farris reraises from the small blind to 8,000 and Raposa calls. The flop comes 2-3-5 with two clubs. Farris leads out for 11,000 and Raposa makes the call. The turn is the 4 and Farris bets again, this time for 16,000. Raposa moves him all in and Farris makes the call with A-Q for the straight, however, Raposa has the nuts with 67. The river is a blank and Raposa takes down the hand.
