Bhojani Doubles Up

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Imran Bhojani
Imran Bhojani

Imran Bhojani moved all in for 2,400,000 from middle position and action folded to David Diaz in the big blind who called to put Bhojani at risk.

Imran Bhojani: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
David Diaz: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Bhojani was in good shape to secure the double and leap further in front on the {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop. The {6-Hearts} turn secured the pot for Bhojani prior to the meaningless {j-Clubs} river.

Bittar Fills Up on Rebei

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Karim Rebei raised it up from the hijack and Kamal Bittar defended from the big blind. The flop came {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Bittar check-called a bet of 750,000 from Rebei.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {2-Diamonds} on the river. Bittar led out with a small bet of 600,000 and Rebei quickly called. Bittar showed {4-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a full house and raked in the pot.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Nathanael Kogel
Nathanael Kogel

Brian Kim raised to 525,000 from middle position and Nathanael Kogel shoved 4,230,000 from the button. Kim called and Kogel was at risk.

Nathanael Kogel: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Brian Kim: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Kim had the better kicker with aces and eights to send Kogel to the rail as the end of Day 6 nears.

Turner Felted By Rozin

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
George Turner
George Turner

George Turner moved all in for 2,930,000 from the cutoff and was called by Vadim Rozin out of the small blind.

George Turner: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Vadim Rozin: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Turner was pipped by Rozin's superior kicker and would need to come from behind to survive. The {4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop changed little but the {8-Clubs} turn did give Turner a gutshot. It did not come in on the {k-Diamonds} river, ending the British player's deep run late on Day 6.

Labat Eliminated with Cracked Aces

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Antoine Labat
Antoine Labat

Karim Rebei opened to 675,000 from under the gun and Antoine Labat three-bet to roughly 1,800,000 in the small blind. Action came back to Rebei who moved all in, and after confirming the action, Labat quickly called all in for his stack of approximately 7,000,000.

Antoine Labat: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Karim Rebei: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Labat was in great shape with the best starting hand in poker, although the {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop provided a sweat. Labat walked around near the table as he anxiously awaited the next card, and the dealer put the {q-Diamonds} onto the felt as the table reacted in disbelief at the sight of the devastating turn card, while Labat showed little reaction.

The {10-Spades} river failed to bring an ace, and the Frenchman's deep run had come to an end in brutal fashion. The 2018 Main Event ninth-place finisher made his way to the payout desk following the disappointing result, as he fell just a bit short of another prestigious Main Event final table.

Nathanael Kogel: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Kogel held on with pocket tens to secure the double.

Salas Stays Alive

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Damian Salas got his last 3,700,000 in the middle blind versus blind against Tzur Levy.

Damian Salas: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Tzur Levy: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

The {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop gave both players a pair, but Salas was in front with his king. The {3-Spades} on the turn also gave Levy a flush draw, but the {7-Hearts} on the river was safe for Salas as the last remaining Main Event champion in the field doubled up.

Farnes Rides Quads to the Chip Lead

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Jeffrey Farnes

Tzur Levy and Jeffrey Farnes went heads-up to the turn on a board of {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} when Levy bet 1,350,000 from early position. Farnes, to his immediate left, called.

The river came the {9-Hearts} and Levy continued for 2,850,000. Farnes sat motionless for a moment before announcing a raise to 8,200,000.

Levy considered the decision for about a minute before sticking in a call. "Quads," Farnes said as he turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, taking the pot and increasing his stack to nearly 40,000,000.

Demersseman Doubles Through Madan

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Adam Demersseman

After Philippe Souki had won a pot off Cameron Blazevich to take over the lead on their table, the next hand featured a preflop all-in contest. The action folded to Adam Demersseman in the small blind and he pushed all-in for 4,825,000.

Mayank Madan was sent into the tank and contemplated his option carefully, which led Demersseman to whisper a "it's a good one, eh?" to his neighbour.

Only a few seconds later, the call followed and the cards were turned over.

Adam Demersseman: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Mayank Madan: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} board missed both players and Demersseman doubled to pull ahead of Madan.

Shepsky Doubles, Leaves Kogel Short

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Nathanael Kogel raised to 750,000 from middle position and Matthew Shepsky shoved his last 4,080,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Kogel called to put Shepsky at risk.

Matthew Shepsky: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Nathanael Kogel: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Shepsky held on with ace-king to secure the important double in the last level of Day 6.
