Gautam Dhingra opened the action from the cutoff to 500,000, and it folded the small blind Ryan Henry, who three-bet all in for roughly 3,500,000. It folded back to Dhingra, who snap-called.
Ryan Henry: 5♦5♣ 
Gautam Dhingra: A♦A♣
Henry jammed right into the aces of Dhingra, but the board ran out 5♠3♣Q♣9♠2♣ and Henry flopped a set to crack the aces of Dhingra and secure the double up.
Action was caught on the 4♠5♠4♥K♥A♠ completed board, there was 2,450,000 in the pot. Higor Siebel checked from the big blind to put the action on Nickolas Oiberman, who was in the cutoff.
Oiberman had 3,100,000 behind, and used a time bank as he mulled over his options. He decided to commit 3,000,000 into the pot.
Seibel then went into a tank of his, using a time extension himself. He decided to call.
Oiberman tabled A♣10♥ for aces and fours, which prompted Seibel to muck.
Higor Siebel - 17,725,000
Nickolas Oiberman - 8,550,000
Jason Wang was all in for roughly 4,100,000 on the button, with Ben Pockett in the small blind putting him at risk.
Jason Wang: 9♠9♦
Ben Pockett: J♠J♦
Wang ran into the bigger pocket pair and was left drawing dead on the turn after the board ran out 2♠7♣7♥J♣K♦ to give Pockett a full house, knocking out Wang in seventh place.
The seven remaining players are back from break and the cards are in the air for the A$5,000 Six Max Final table.

In the final two hands of Level 23 (100,000/200,000/200,000 bba), Rehman Kassam found back-to-back doubles against Gautam Dhingra.
On the first hand, Dhingra raised from under the gun and had Kassam at risk after the latter was forced all in from the big blind.
Rehman Kassam: A♦10♣
Gautam Dhingra: 10♦9♣
Dhingra was dominated but picked up extra outs after flopping a straight draw on Q♥J♥5♥.
Dhingra called for an eight, but the board bricked out with the J♠ turn and 3♦ river.
"You can't kill a cockroach," Kassam said as he secured the double-up.
On the very next hand, Kassam raised to 400,000, leaving 150,000 behind.
"Play the streets?" Kassam asked Dhingra, who obliged with a call.
"Imagine if I just folded," Dhingra said. "Part of me was slightly tempted," he added with a laugh.
Kassam then moved all in on the Q♣8♠5♥ flop. Dhingra jokingly asked for a count before tossing in calling chips.
Rehman Kassam: A♥K♠
Gautam Dhingra: 9♦7♦
"Ooo, I'm live," Dhingra said. "Not my favorite hand. You can't do me with my favorite hand.
"Do him dirty, come on," Dhingra added, urging the dealer. "Don't double him up twice."
The board ran out 8♦5♣, giving Kassam another double.
"Aiyah, what a poker player," Kassam beamed.
"You know, if you didn't stack off with fives, you could have had a few more chips right now," Dhingra joked.
"Butterfly effect. These hands wouldn't have happened," Kassam replied.

Michael Mizrachi, who started Day 3 as the overwhelming chip leader, has been eliminated in 12th place.
The final two tables formed around two hours ago, but no eliminations had taken place until Mizrachi’s departure.
Mizrachi moved all in for 2,200,000 (11 big blinds) from under the gun and was called by Gautam Dhingra in the next seat. Mizrachi tabled pocket tens, but was in rough shape against Dhingra’s pocket aces.
The board ran out clean for the aces, sending Mizrachi to the payout desk to collect $17,540, while the remaining 11 players have now locked up $23,150.
At 100,000/150,000, Michael Mizrachi opened to 400,000 from the small blind, and Gautam Dhingra called from the big blind.
Mizrachi continued for 150,000 on the 10x9x8x flop before Dhingra made it 750,000. Mizrachi clicked it to 1,350,000 and Dhingra called.
The Kx turn checked through to the Kx river, where Mizrachi fired out 2,300,000. Dhingra moved all-in for 3,800,000, sending Mizrachi into the blender. The WSOP Main Event champion burned through seven time banks before returning his cards to the dealer.
