Day 7 of the WSOP Main Event will see these 27 players battle down to the last nine, who will then return in November for the finale. Action resumes at noon PDT from the Amazon Room at the Rio, and PokerNews will be on hand with the latest big hands and bustouts. Day 7 seat assignments will be posted within the hour in the "Day 7" blog.
The two marquee names left in the tournament both saw their Main Event come to an end today. Phil Hellmuth made his exit in 45th place when A-Q failed him for the fourth year in a row, while Mike Matusow was eliminated in 30th place when his A-J flopped trips, but could not fade the nine on the turn that made Paul Snead a full house.
Also eliminated today were top online players Garrett "GBecks" Beckman, Adam "Roothlus" Levy, and David "Raptor" Benefield.
Craig Marquis ended the night as the chip leader with over 11 million, with Dennis Phillips close behind. Tiffany Michelle holds the third spot with a 9.9 million stack.
As always, official chip counts and seating assignments will be posted as soon as they become available.
Join us tomorrow for our final day of WSOP Main Event Coverage, where the field will thin from 27 players to the "November Nine" who will return this fall to play down to a winner.
