The Action of the Day

Right from the start, the eliminations came at an incredibly fast pace as the hopes of an even deeper run for all those that made it through to the money started to fall apart.

Shaun "shaundeeb" Deeb was seen riding around on a rollercoster all day until he crashed into "beastishngry's" nut flush, ending his tournament early in the money.

Jens "Jeans89" Kyllönen was hoping to ride his heater through to the end of the night but it came to a cold end after his trip threes froze after Geilich found a third lady on turn making queens-full.

As virtual bodies kept dropping closer to the hard stop, there were two players who continued to tussle until one lost their chips. Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez, who started the final level fifth in chips, lost his wrestling match with Burns and became the final elimination of the evening.

The final day of WCOOP-73-M: $1,050 PLO [6-Max, Main Event] will continue with the remainder of level 32 at blinds of 500,000/100,000. All levels for the final day will last 20 minutes each and the tournament will play down to a champion as of 1.05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Tuesday, September 21st, 2020.
