Agustin Naranja was all in preflop for around 83,000 which got a call from Michael Estes, who had him covered.
Agustin Naranja: J♦8♦
Michael Estes:A♣A♦
When the players flipped their hands, Naranja stood from the table when he saw he was against aces.
The 9♥9♣2♣2♠10♥ board brought no hope for Naranja and he was eliminated from the tournament.
The Hand Before the Break:
Eric Froehlich lost a standard flip after he four-bet against Sean Ragozzini and got called.
Sean Ragozzini:A♠K♣
Eric Froehlick: J♠J♥
The flop peeled A♥9♥4♦ firmly flipping Ragozzini ahead and the 8♦ and 5♥ were no help to Froehlick who was left with only 15,000 chips after the hand was over.
Froehlick was seen leaving the tournament area shortly after returning from break.
Daniel Strelitz wasted no time in getting his short stack all in which gave Sriharsha Doddapaneni a chance to win his table as the two were heads-up.
Daniel Strelitz: A♦7♦
Sriharsha Doddapaneni: K♥3♠
Strelitz survived and gave himself a lifeline as the 4♠5♠A♥J♣Q♦ board gave him top pair.
Level: 22
Blinds: 10,000/15,000
Ante: 15,000
The 65 remaining players are taking a short 20-minute break.
Espen Jorstad and Charles Honkonen got their chips in preflop with the latter at risk and behind.
Charles Honkonen: A♣4♣
Espen Jorstad: Q♦Q♠
Honkonen caught his ace on the 8♣5♦A♦3♦6♣ runout which earned him a double-up and left Jorstad as one of the shorter stacks on his table with five players remaining.
It had been 14 years since anyone crossed the six-bracelet milestone, the last being Men "The Master" Nguyen. However, John Hennigan has now broken that streak, winning his seventh bracelet in Event #7: $1,500 Dealer's Choice at the 2024 World Series of Poker.
Hennigan defeated Robert Wells after a brief heads-up duel. With the win, Hennigan became only the ninth player to join the seven-bracelet club.
"It's Interesting to know, I guess, just like any other number" Hennigan commented when asked about the accolade. "Very happy to win the tournament. I mean to me, the best thing about winning the tournament is not losing it. Not getting second or knowing they're still playing and wandering around after you go broke. It's just very satisfying to come out on top."
Grant Wang raised to 31,000 on the button and was faced by a raise from Martin Zamani to 87,000. Wang went all in, covering Zamani, who made the call.
Martin Zamani: A♣Q♣
Grant Wang: A♥7♣
The board ran out bricks and Wang was left imploring why he kept doubling up Zamani, making comment, "Apparently my reads are off..."
