All the players are hoping they can make it to the final table and capture the first-place prize of $473,019. Also with capturing the money is the fame and glory of winning a prestigious event such as the Six handed event and a masterfully crafted gold bracelet. When the 10 levels finished our chip leader was Tammy Tibbles . She had 233,300. Steven Kelly was not to far behind with 224,000 in chips.

This event should be called the Fast and Furious 6-Max because the action was fast and the bustouts were furious. 802 were eliminated from contention today. The notables that did not make the cut were Scott Seiver, Andy Frankenberger, Daniel Negreanu, Faraz Jaka, Phil Hellmuth, Daryll Fish, and Phil Ivey. Many others were eliminated as well.
