The first six levels of the day are in the book and players have departed on a 45-minute dinner break.

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel

On a board reading {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, with about 135,000 in the middle, Shawn Daigle checked from the big blind.

2010 WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel bet 90,000 and Daigle paused for a moment before check-raising to 235,000. Duhamel wasted no time and four-bet shoved for over 2 million, with Daigle being put to the test for a little over a million. Daigle quickly folded and Duhamel raked in the pot.

The champ currently sits on 2,255,000 approaching the dinner break.

Set Over Set, Lamia Benefits

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Roger Lamia moved all-in on the river for just over 600,000 on a {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board. The pot was already worth about 350,000 and Lamia was heads-up with Armenak Kizirian. Kizirian was in some discomfort and for good reason.

Lamia had Kizirian covered so a call would put Kizirian at risk. He would eventually call and Lamia showed him the bad news. Lamia tabled {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and all Kizirian could do was raise his hands in agony as he tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Pelletier Can't Get One Past Jacques

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A big pot was brewing over on Table 33 with 700,000 in the pot by the river on a board reading {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Andrew Pelletier was in middle position and decided to lead for 132,000. Vincent Jacques was on the button and looked like he was in agony. He cut his chips out but was visibly torn by the decision. Eventually, he called.

Pelletier did not look too happy as he tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes. Jacques looked relieved and tabled {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines to scoop the big pot.

Sides Doubles and Busts Hamelin

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a board reading {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} Daniel Hamelin was all-in from the big blind as was Darrin Oremba in middle position and Felix Sides on the button.

Daniel Hamelin: {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Felix Sides: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Darrin Oremba: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Hamelin had a pair of tens, Sides had a set of eights and Oremba had a pair of queens. The turn was the {5-Spades} and Hamelin was drawing dead to the {4-Hearts} on the river. Oremba couldn't find the last queen in the deck so Sides doubled through him and eliminated Hamelin for his last 265,000.

After six players saw a {4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop, Shawn Daigle bet 47,000 into a pot of 110,000 getting a call from just one of his opponents. Daigle fired again when the {8-Spades} fell on the turn and his opponent check-called once-more, this time for 103,000.

The {j-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and after another check in front of him, Daigle emptied the clip, moving all-in. His opponent folded quickly and Daigle raked in the pot.

Siddiqui Lays it Down

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With 90,000 in the pot, on a board reading {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, $10K High Roller champion Shaan Siddiqui checked from middle position. Chanracy Khun bet 29,000 from the cutoff and Angelo Gonzales called on the button. Siddiqui reached into his stack and put in a check-raise to 130,000. Khun and Gonzales both called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Siddiqui bet 225,000 with 320,000 chips behind. Gonzales leaned forward, looked Siddiqui dead in the face and said, "I'm all-in." Siddiqui looked confused and went into the tank. He then said, "You know what I have."

Eventually Siddiqui called the clock on himself. After about 15 seconds he folded, sending the pot to Gonzales. "Did you fold aces?" asked Gonzales. No answer.
