For the second time today Chris Da-Silva saw himself in an unfortunate spot and got ace-king up against pocket aces. However this time he was unable to come out the other side with chips.
The dealer informed us that Da-Silva raised to 135k from under the gun, and Peter Campo three-bet to 350k from the hijack. Kao Saechao was on the button and cold called before Da-Silva moved all in. Campo, who had both players covered, called and Saechao was unsure of his decision. Talking out loud he was unsure of what to do and ultimately open folded . Da-Silva winced when he saw the hand and also tabled , and saw Campo reveal .
The flop came down , and Da-Silva stood up from the table and saw his fate sealed on the turn to exit just before the first break of the day.
The U.K.'s Da-Silva takes away $66,330 for his efforts.
Ryan Rivers opened to 125,000 from the hijack, Steven Adams reraised all in from the button for 1,230,000 and Antoine Labat four-bet shoved from the big blind for 2,730,000.
Rivers called instantly and tabled , leading Labat's and Adams' .
The board came down , giving Labat a set of kings to eliminate Adams and double through RIvers.
As recapped to us by Alexander Ziskin, he opened to 140,000 from early position and Shaun Deeb three-bet from the button. Ziskin four-bet, Deeb five-bet shoved for about 1,500, 000 and Zikin called with , leading Deeb's .
Ricardo Souza raised to 125,000 on the button and Kelly Minkin three-bet to 385,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Souza four-bet all in putting Minkin to the test.
Minkin called for her tournament life pushing her 1,445,000 into the middle.

Minkin would have to flip well to stay alive and she did with the board running out as she flashed her rail an 'OK' sign, before going over to tell them the good news.
While the storm outside may be over, the action inside the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino will be nothing short of thunderous as Day 6 of the 2018 World Series of Poker Main Event commences at 11 a.m. Due to last night's impromptu ending, caused by the power outing, 109 players will return to play the 1 hour and 23 minutes left in Level 26 that got cut short.
For 108 of them, capturing poker's ultimate achievement along with the $8,800,000 first place prize would be a dream coming true. One remaining player already knows what's it like to live that dream, as 2009 champion Joe Cada (2,965,000) is still in the hunt to become the first multiple Main Event winner since the late Stu Ungar in 1997. On Day 5, Cada reminded everyone who he was and the 2009 champ be one to watch when cards go back in the air.
Cada has quite a hill to climb if he's to etch himself even more in poker's history. Chipleader Michael Dyer has distanced himself with 12,180,000 in chips, making him the only player to start over the 10M mark. Late on Day 5, Dyer was all in in a massive confrontation against Cliff Josephy. Dyer, holding ace-king, spiked a fortuitous ace on the river against Josephy's pocket kings to rocket himself up the leaderboard.
Following Dyer are three-time bracelet winner Brian Yoon (8,395,000), Jeff Trudeau (8,305,000), Hari Bercovici (7,650,000) and Belgian MTT specialist Bart Lybaert (7,530,000). There's still plenty of dangerous contenders left in the field, as the likes of Barry Hutter (5,695,000), Eric Froehlich (5,365,000), Ivan Luca (4,580,000), Shaun Deeb (2,610,000) and James Obst (1,730,000) will also take a seat of Day 6.
Another story brewing is the back-to-back deep run of Frenchmen Benjamin Pollak (5,715,000). Last year, Pollak finished in 3rd place, and with an already heavily padded stack the Frenchman is looking to become the first back-to-back final tablist since Mark Newhouse, something Michael Ruane just missed out on last year. Kelly Minkin is the sole remaining female left in the field and with 1,205,000 in chips, "The Illest" will have to spin it up from one of the shortest stacks in the room.
