Action was picked up with Ruth Hall, under the gun, making the call after Miaomiao Huang shoved all-in in late position.
Miaomiao Huang: 7♣7♥ 
Ruth Hall: K♦Q♦
The board ran 9♥Q♣4♠4♣J♦ giving Hall the higher two pair with the board on the turn. Huang quietly left the table to head to the payout counter.
The board 2♠A♥8♠9♠6♣ was already dealt, with Allyn Shulman being the player at risk for a remaining stack around 400,000 against Elisa Nakagawa.
Shulman held 7♦7♠, which wasn't good enough to double up as Nakagawa had A♦K♠ for a pair of aces. Shulman was eliminated right before the three table redraw.
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.

Diana Shamshoum raised to 80,000, and Una Kelly shoved in the big blind seat for a remaining stack around 630,000. Shamshoum sent a chip for the call.
Una Kelly: A♠Q♣
Diana Shamshoum: A♦A♣
Kelly didn't find any miracle with a board 2♥3♦Q♠10♦8♥ and made her way to the payout desk.
Michelle Izzi opened to 60,000 in middle position and received a shove all-in from the player immediately to her left, Sophal Yon. After action folded around, Izzi and Yon, at risk, headed to showdown.
Sophal Yon: 7♦7♣
Michelle Izzi: A♦J♥
Yon saw a potential double up when she maintained her lead on the flop of Q♣Q♥10♥. But the turn A♣ put Izzi in the lead. Nothing changed with the 6♦ river sending Yon to the rails.
Nana Sanechika raised to 60,000 under the gun, and Sonia Shashikhina raised to 160,000 to her left. Manda Moore, next to Shashikhina shoved all-in for around 760,000. Action folded around to Sanechika, who also got out of the way. Shashikhina made the call, putting Moore's tournament life in jeopardy.
Manda Moore: Q♣Q♠
Sonia Shashikhina: K♣K♦
Shashikhina was ahead, making Moore get up from her seat as she watched the dealer flop 3♦K♥9♣. Shashikhina caught a set on the flop strengthening her lead. The runout 5♦A♠ didn't change anything for Moore. She picked up her things and headed to the payout counter.
Jessica Cai opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Krista Gifford moved all in for her remaining 245,000. Cai made the call and the players flipped their hands.
Krista Gifford: A♠A♦
Jessica Cai: 7♠7♣
Gifford held on the 5♠4♠2♠Q♠3♥ runout and sat back with an even stack to Cai.
Players were four-ways on the 7♣4♦9♥ flop and action had checked through the blinds to Julie Huynh sitting under the gun. Huynh bet out 350,000 and Stephani Hagberg moved all in from middle position for 915,000.
Huynh made the call and covered Hagberg.
Stephani Hagberg: 7♠7♦
Julie Huynh: K♥K♣
Haberg had flopped a set, and the Q♣ turn and 6♠ river didn't change anything, and Hagberg secured a huge double.
