Six hours down today. That makes 56 hours total, if you can believe that. Still a few more to go tonight, then more tomorrow before we'll know which players will be this year's November Nine.
We went from 51 to 42 that level. Shortly after the break, a short-stacked James Manning lost a race with Sergey Rybachenko to go out in 51st place. Manning took home $168,556 for his finish. Also receiving the same amount were end of Day 4 chip leader Tony "Bond18" Dunst (50th), Jacobo Fernandez (49th), James Fennell (48th), Evgeny Shnayder (47th), and end of Day 5 chip leader Evan Lamprea (46th).
Sergey Rybachenko went out next in 45th. David Assouline, who led all players at the end of Day 2, went out in 44th. And Matthew Berkey hit the rail in 43rd. Each of those three earn $206,395.
Meanwhile, Level 28 was a good one for Joseph "sublime" Cheong who charged to the top of the chip counts. Cheong was overtaken, however, as the level ended by Cuong Nguyen after that huge hand between Nguyen and Theo Jorgensen in which Nguyen claimed a huge portion of the latter's chips.
And Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi got a little healthier during the last two hours, due in large part to surviving an all-in situation versus Thorson to double up. He goes to dinner with a below average stack.
The plan tonight will be to play down to just 27 players. We'll be back in 90 minutes to continue play, so cards should go back in the air a little before 8:30 p.m. local time. See you back here then.
Brandon Steven raised to 225,000 from late position, and he found calls from both of the blinds -- Theo Jorgensen in the small and Cuong Nguyen in the big.
The three players took a flop of 
, and some serious action ensued. The blinds checked, and Steven continued out with a bet of 525,000. Jorgensen check-called, but Nguyen wanted to play for more. He raised to 1.5 million, and Steven quickly folded. Jorgensen promptly reraised to 4 million straight and Nguyen came right back over the top with an all-in shove for 7.62 million. Jorgensen called, and all of the sudden there was a pot of 19.52 million up for grabs!
A wave of chatter swept through the spectator gallery as everyone quickly booked their bets on the players' two hands. Set over set? Ace-king versus a set? Not quite. Showdown, please:
Jorgensen: 
Nguyen: 
Seriously. These guys are not messing around. Jorgensen was on the club draw, and his overcard ace gave him three extra outs. Nguyen had put about 8 million in with just top pair-medium kicker, but he was ahead with two cards to come and in position to win a chip-leading pot.
Turn: 
. That's the wrong color for Jorgensen, and Nguyen didn't even flinch.
River: 
. Jorgensen paired up, but it was the wrong card. His lowly pair of threes was no match for Nguyen's pair, and that gargantuan pile of chips goes to Nguyen.
Let the record show that on the last hand before the dinner break, Cuong Nguyen took a commanding chip lead in the Main Event with 19.52 million. Jorgensen, once mighty himself, has been reduced to just 2.3 million.
Wow.
Scott Clements shoved in for 2.07 million over the top of a 200,000-chip raise from Benjamin Statz. When action folded back to Statz, he made the call with two red kings. Clements held the 
.
The flop contained a bullet when it came 
to give Clements the lead. The turn was the 
and the river the 
.
Clements doubled to over four million while Statz dropped to just about 4.1 million.
William Thorson opened to 200,000 from under the gun and David Baker made the call from the large blind.
The 
flop was checked through to see the land on the turn and Baker fire out 375,000. Thorson made the call as the 
landed on the river and both players checked it through.
Baker tabled his 
, but it would be Thorson's 
that would see him collect the pot on the second last hand before dinner.
Matthew Bucaric raised to 200,000 under the gun and he found three calls. Jason Senti (cutoff), Dag Palovic (button), and Robert Pisano (big blind) all came along to the flop with more than 900,000 already in the middle of the table.
The dealer spread out 
, and the first two players checked to Senti. He made it 525,000 to go, and that would reduce the crowd. Palovic and Pisano folded, but Bucaric check-raised all in over the top. Senti called off his last ~2.1 million to put himself at risk. And he was well ahead:
Senti: 
Bucaric:
"PBJaxx" had outflopped Bucaric, and his two pair had him two cards from a big double up. The turn 
was safe, and the river 
completed the board to move Senti up to about 6.1 million.
After taking that big blow, Bucaric is down aound 3.2 million.
Jonathan Duhamel raised it up under the gun to 210,000 with Filippo Candio making the call on the button and Patrick Eskandar calling in the small blind.
They all checked the 
flop and the hit the turn. Eskandar checked and Duhamel fired 360,000. Candio made the call as Eskandar ducked out of the way.
The river brought the and another bet from Duhamel for 215,000. Candio responded with a raise to 715,000 but Duhamel looked him up.
"Sevens," said Candio, as Duhamel showed for top pair to take it down. Duhamel is up to 10 million with Candio dropping to 9.2 million.
Duy Le opened to 180,000 from early position and Michael Mizrachi made the call from the big blind.
Mizrachi checked the 
flop to see Le fire out 240,000 with Mizrachi making the call.
The turn landed the and Mizrachi led out for 360,000 with Le making the call before both players checked the 
on the river.
Le tabled his 
and Mizrachi folded to see Le collect the pot and move to 5,250,000 in chips.
