Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi could be just hours away from pulling off what many will likely consider the greatest accomplishment in poker history.

"The Grinder" enters Day 5 on Saturday as the chip leader in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). He's among the seven remaining players out of the original 107 chasing the gold bracelet and the $1,331,322 first-place prize.

Mizrachi could win his seventh bracelet, something only 12 others have accomplished. But there's more at stake for the poker legend who wasn't even nominated as a Poker Hall of Fame finalist this year.

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 600,000 in the cutoff and Hamid Toghyan moved all in on the button to put himself at risk. Lin asked for a count and the dealer confirmed that the bet was 7,850,00. Lin elected to make the call with the covering stack.

Hamid Toghyan: 8♥8♣ All in
Ren Lin: 10♦10♥

There were no eights to be found on the runout of 3♣9♠J♥K♠7♠ and Toghyan's impressive tournament run came to an end.

The remaining two tables will now combine for the unofficial ten-handed final table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ren Lin	19,000,000 8,550,000	8,550,000
