The final table resumes at 12 p.m. on Friday, July 24, with cards back in the air and the action streamed live on the BetMGM YouTube channel.
A blind on blind battle in the $1,100 Mad Max saw the bubble burst, reducing the field to the final six players.
The small blind checked on the 10♥8♥5♣ flop, and the big blind bet 10,000. The small blind then raised to 100,000, covering the big blind. The latter then committed their stack of around 72,000.
All-in player: J♠J♦
Big Blind: Q♥7♥
The jacks were ahead until Q♦ came in on the turn and the small blind bowed out after the 10♣ river.
The field has been cut to the final nine players from 401 entries, with just two eliminations separating the remaining hopefuls from the official seven-handed final table. Each player has locked up $3,885, while the winner will collect $41,150 when play concludes later today.
$500 Almighty Stack
Day 1a is rapidly approaching the money, with 81 players remaining from a field of 401 entries. The top 51 places are paid, meaning another 30 eliminations are needed before the bubble bursts. Players have returned from the Level 16 break with blinds now at 10,000/15,000.
Meanwhile, Day 1B is underway and has already attracted 137 entries through the opening seven levels of play. Registration remains open until the start of Level 13.
$1,100 Mad Max

The $500 O.E has 29 players remaining from 62 entries. The top eight players will make the money, leaving another 21 eliminations before the bubble bursts. The prize pool has climbed to $26,350, with $1,145 awaiting the min-cash.
Monster Stack Super Turbo
The nightly Monster Stack Super Turbo is into Level 5 with 34 entries so far.
The $500 Almighty Stack has passed the midway point of its opening flight, with 151 players still in contention from a field of 401 entries. Day 1a will continue until just 51 players remain, with those who reach that mark guaranteed a cash and a bag for Day 2.

For the best part of three years, it felt like Bin Weng was everywhere.
The Pennsylvania poker crusher had already established himself as one of the most consistent tournament grinders in the country, but from 2023 onwards his career went into overdrive. Millions of dollars in scores, major titles and seemingly endless deep runs followed as Weng became one of the hottest players on the tournament circuit.
The volume never really slowed, either. After banking $6,663,696 in live tournament cashes during a remarkable 2023, he added another $519,146 in 2024 and $945,780 in 2025. Then, towards the end of last year, it all came to a halt.
Health complications forced Weng away from the tables for around seven months, leaving one of poker's busiest tournament regulars watching from home instead of competing.
PokerNews caught up with Weng during the Borgata Summer Poker Open, where he's among the final three tables of the $650 Super Deep 6-Max. The event attracted 401 entries, creating a $228,570 prize pool, with $41,150 awaiting the winner. Thursday's action plays down to the final table before the remaining players return on Friday for a livestreamed finale on the BetMGM Poker YouTube channel.
The $650 Super Deep 6-Max is down to its final 17 players, with the field having played into the money after attracting 401 entries and generating a $228,570 prize pool. Play will continue until the final table of seven, with those players returning on Friday to battle for the title under the lights on the BetMGM Poker livestream. Everyone still in contention has locked up $2,310, while the winner will take home $41,150.
The $500 Almighty Stack has reached the penultimate level of late registration. The field has grown to 384 entries, and will bag up after playing into the money.
Meanwhile, the $500 O.E. is in its final level of late registration, with 58 entries so far as players continue to filter in.
Late registration is also nearing a close in the $1,100 Mad Max (8-Max to 6-Max). The tournament has climbed to 28 entries through eight levels, with one final chance for players to join the action before the field is set.
