Shuffle Up and Deal

Shamus

The 185 remaining players are (mostly) all in their seats and the first hands of the day are being dealt.

A Good Start for Jensen

[user75032]

Benjamin Jensen was almost at the very bottom of the counts to start the day, a spot we like to call the Dank Position. However he now has twice as many chips as he started Day 6 with. After Ryan Hart opened from middle position with a raise, Jensen jammed all in. Hart called with {A-Clubs}

against Jensen's {A-Spades}

. Jensen had to sweat it after a flop of {2-Clubs}

, but no further clubs hit the turn {2-Spades}

or river

.

Jensen is up to about 260,000 chips.

Eastgate Surrenders

[user75032]

On one of the very first hands of the day, reigning WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate bet 70,000 on a three-way flop of {10-Spades}

. He was called by the player on the button, Ben Lamb.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}

, causing Eastgate to slow down with a cautious check. Lamb eyed Eastgate's stack briefly before betting 160,000. Eastgate couldn't fold his cards faster than he did.

Ludovic Bullies Bolivar

Shamus

While still stacking his chips from the unbagging, Ludovic Lacay raised to 40,000 from late position and Bolivar Palacios called from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Hearts}

. Palacios checked, Lacay bet 52,000, and Palacios called. The turn was the {2-Hearts}

. Palacios again checked, and this time Lacay bet 85,000.

Palacios thought a moment, then folding. "You stole that," he added afterwards.

Palacios is at 350,000, while Lacay has 1.9 million.

Double Feature

[user66118]

With 178 players remaining, we have just two women left in the field, Leo Margets and Nichoel Peppe. ESPN is showing some love to the ladies today as their table is playing under the bright lights of the secondary featured table.

Here's how the two TV tables are laid out to begin the day:

Main Featured Table
Seat 1: Clayton Newman
Seat 2: Prahlad Friedman
Seat 3: Tom Schneider
Seat 4: Scott Eskenazi
Seat 5: Paul Johnson
Seat 6: Miika Puumalainen
Seat 7: Scott Sitron
Seat 8: Dwayne Stacey
Seat 9: Michael Jansen

Secondary Featured Table
Seat 1: Hac Dang
Seat 2: Paul Smith
Seat 3: Ryan Fair
Seat 4: Leo Margets
Seat 5: Tommy Vedes
Seat 6: Bernhard Perner
Seat 7: Nichoel Peppe
Seat 8: Joseph Ward
Seat 9: Blair Hinkle

Minetti Eliminated By Nguyen

donpeters

Anh Van Nguyen raised to 38,000 from middle position and then Mike Minetti reraised to 100,000 from later position. Action got back over to Nguyen and he reraised enough to put Minetti all in. Minetti made the all-in call after only a brief moment.

Minetti held {A-Hearts}

against Nguyen's pocket kings, {K-Spades}

.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}

and that was it for Minetti.

Dan Bilzerian Eliminated

[user75032]

Dan Bilzerian was living on borrowed time ever since Day 3. Bilzerian started Day 3 among the top twenty in the counts, then fell throughout the day until he was all in with pocket jacks against Jamie Brown's pocket aces. One jack was already dead, but that didn't stop Bilzerian from finding the case jack on the flop.

Bilzerian's borrowed time has finally run out. He moved all in preflop with {A-Hearts}

and was called by Jonathan Tamayo's pocket tens. Bilzerian couldn't repeat his earlier magic, becoming the 180th place finisher on a board of {8-Clubs}

.

Dan's brother Adam remains in the hunt.
