Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On the final hand of Day 6, Yegor Moroz raised to 400,000 under the gun and Carlos Caldas called in the big blind.

The flop came 7?4?3? and Moroz bet 500,000. Caldas then moved all in for 2,800,000 and Moroz snap-called.

Carlos Caldas: J?7? All in
Yegor Moroz: 10?10?

Players from the surrounding tables began gathering around as Caldas showed top pair, but he was behind Moroz's pair of tens. The A? fell on the turn, while the river was the K? and Moroz ran into the arms of his exuberant rail while Caldas went around the table shaking the hands of his tablemates before heading for the payout desk.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Shundan Xiao opened to 400,000 from middle position and Danny Tang announced a raise of 1,800,000 from the button, which was all of his chips. The action folded to the big blind and while he was thinking, Xiao made the call out of turn.

"That's good news. You were not happy about calling," remarked Tang.

The big blind did eventually fold, and Xiao's call stood.

Danny Tang; A?10? All in
Shundan Xiao: A?7?

Tang was in the lead but soon fell behind on the K?6?7? flop, though he did pick up a flush draw.

"We've been outflopped, but we have a flush draw or a ten," said Tang to his rail.

The Q? turn added yet more outs of Tang as any jack would complete Broadway, but the 3? river didn't help him which meant he was eliminated.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Xuejun Huang shoved for his last 2,600,000 on the button and was called by Brian Kim in the big blind to put Huang at risk.

Xuejun Huang: J?J? All in
Brian Kim: 3?3?

Huang was in great shape to double up and stayed that way on 5?7?Q? flop and 5? turn. However, the dealer brought the 3? on the river to improve Kim to a full house, which got a yelp from Huang as his Main Event ended in heartbreaking fashion.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Marc Wolpert raised for all but the last 50,000 in the small blind and Adrian Lopez came along in the big blind to see the 9?8?6? flop, on which the last few chips trickled into the middle.

Marc Wolpert: K?10? All in
Adrian Lopez: A?J?

Lopez was ahead, yet he asked for diamonds to lock up the elimination. The Q? turn gave Wolpert more outs with a double gutshot but the A? river only improved Lopez to a pair of aces, reducing the field to the last 64 players with another pay jump in sight.

Kai Cocklin

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Naor Slobodskoy opeend from middle position to 400,000 and Daniel Zadok three-bet the button to 1,125,000. David Collins then four-bet from the small blind to 2,800,000, which got Slobodskoy to fold. Zadok then shoved all in, and Collins quickly called off his remaining 5,000,000 chips.

David Collins: Q?Q? All in
Daniel Zadok: A?A?

Collins was way behind and didn't find any help on the 10?2?5? flop. Only a queen could save Collins but neither the 10? turn nor 9? river was the Lady he was looking for, which meant he was elimimated.

Zadok on the other hand, now has a stack of around 24,000,000 chips.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Two hands were still in progress while the rest of the field had already gone off on break.

Brian Rast raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and Tomas Szwarcberg called on the button before Rodrigo Portaleoni three-bet to 1,600,000. Rast then moved all in and both opponents quickly folded.

At another table, Veerab Zakarian and Malo Latinois were heads-up on a board of Q?2?7?4? with already more than 2,000,000 in the middle. Zakarian then bet 875,000 from the big blind and Latinois called in the cutoff.

The river was the 4? and Zakarian moved all in for 3,800,000. Latinois snap-called with J?10? for a flush and Zakarian flashed A?K? before making his exit.

McCullagh Eliminated by Rosenblum

Christian Zetzsche

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jordan Griff raised to 300,000 and Ciaran McCullagh then pushed all-in from the button for around 2,200,000. Russell Rosenblum in the big blind asked for a count and then went all-in over the top to force out Griff.

Ciaran McCullagh: A?Q? All in
Russell Rosenblum: A?K?

In the previous all-in showdown on their table, Rosenblum had come from behind in the same scenario when he was at risk and history seemingly repeated itself on the Q?6?3? flop. However, the K? turn repeated the preflop order and Rosenblum further improved to trips with the K? river to send McCullagh to the rail.

Russell Rosenblum	10,550,000 3,050,000	3,050,000
