Yu Zhang got his short stack in preflop and was ahead versus Adrien Delmas.
Yu Zhang: A♠J♠
Adrien Delmas: K♦10♦
The Q♥J♦3♦ flop gave Delmas a ton of equity and he improved with the A♣ turn. Zhang now needed an ace or jack but failed to hit with the K♥ on the river.
One table over, three players have already been eliminated with Ran Ilani being the first to fall against Adam Hendrix.
Alexis Lucarini made it 120,000 to go from under the gun with Q♥Q♣ and Vladimir Nex three-bet from early position to 300,000 holding J♥J♣. Lucarini shoved for around 1,785,000, and Nex went into the tank before he finally found the fold with his jacks.
Shortly after, Ryan Lenaghan shoved for 575,000 from under the gun and Nex called in early position. Jameson Painter then three-bet to 2,095,000, which forced Nex to fold his A♦Q♦.
Ryan Lenaghan: K♦10♦
Jameson Painter: A♥K♥
Lenaghan was up against it, and fell further behind on the A♠8♦9♣ flop. However, a 7♦ on the turn gave him a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw. The 2♠ was a brick, though, and Lenaghan hit the rail.
Will Kassouf's seat was empty for the first hand of the day, making it a quick one for the players at the table. Kohei Arai opened to 120,000 from middle position but folded after Ruben Costa jammed for 815,000 from the next seat over.
On the next deal, Sam Darkin opened to 125,000 from the hijack, with the action folding to Yuhang Chen in the small blind. He made it 500,000. Darkin stuck around to see the A♦10♠6♥ flop, and he called Chen's bet of 325,000. Chen fired out another 1,000,000 on the 8♠ turn, and Darkin called to set up a big pot in the early goings.
With around a million behind, Chen checked when the Q♦ river completed the board. Darkin announced all-in as the covering stack.
As Chen mulled over his options, Kassouf finally turned up.
"Morning, better late than ever," said Kassouf, who continued to talk while Chen was in the tank.
Chen eventually called, but was shown the bad news as Darkin turned a set with 8♦8♣, besting Chen's A♣K♠.
"Whoops, casualty already and I haven't event sat down yet," chimed Kassouf as he got out his phone to film the board, almost putting his device in Chen's face.
"They're dusting off already," Kassouf continued as he took his seat.
Alex Lynskey was down to just 540,000 after taking a bad beat to start the day and shoved all in from the hijack. Daniele Primerano reshoved all in on the button and the blinds quickly folded.
Alex Lynskey: J♦8♦
Daniele Primerano: A♠K♣
The flop came 5♣4♠4♥ which provided no immediate help to the former final tablist. The 6♠ on the turn got Lynskey to his feet and Primerano joined him. The 3♣ completed the board and Lynskey was eliminate after another deep run in the Main Event.
Jefferson Guerrero jammed for 205,000 from the cutoff and was called by Rodrigo Jim in the small blind as well as Amadeus Janotta in the big blind. On the K♥K♦2♦ flop, Jim checked and then folded when Janotta bet 225,000.
Jefferson Guerrero: A♥Q♥
Amadeus Janotta: K♠J♠
The 3♣ turn left Guerrero drawing dead to make the 5♠ river a formality.
Adam Bishop raised to 160,000 from the hijack with Charles Lee calling from the cutoff and Jamie O'Connor calling out of the small blind. Brian Arbaugh squeezed all in for 1,300,000 from the big blind, which got Bishop to tank fold. Lee took a few moments and made the call, while O'Connor got out of the way.
Brian Arbaugh: A♦Q♦
Charles Lee: 8♠8♥
In the first orbit of Day 6, Arbaugh found himself all-in and at risk in a flip. The 2♠6♠5♦ flop kept Lee ahead with two eights. The J♦ turn offered Arbaugh a flush draw, but the 10♠ river was a blank. The pot was pushed to Lee, and Arbaugh headed for an early shower.
William Camp raised to 120,000 under the gun before Leo Margets three-bet to 360,000 from the next seat. Joshua Abiscott four-bet jammed for 730,000 from the button, and Camp folded, A♥J♦, but Margets called to put Abiscott at risk.
Joshua Abiscott: A♠Q♥
Leo Margets: Q♦Q♣
Margets had the Ladies and just needed to avoid an ace to send Abiscott home.
The dealer revealed a flop of Q♠9♠6♣ to put Margets firmly in the lead with top set. The 2♠ turn gave Abiscott a flush draw, but he missed it on the 3♣ river. The pot was pushed to Margets, and Abiscott was out.
In one of the first hands of the day, Eric Bunch moved all in from middle position for 380,000 and was quickly called by Dillon Ott from the big blind.
Eric Bunch: 10♦8♦
Dillon Ott: Q♥Q♠
Ott's pair of queens remained best and he secured the elimination after the J♠5♠2♦6♠6♣ runout.
From the hijack, Paul Gibbons made it 125,000 and Esther Taylor three-bet to 450,000 from the cutoff. Christian Portillo four-bet jammed for 720,000 from the big blind. Gibbons called, but Taylor folded A♥Q♣
Christian Portillo: A♠6♠
Paul Gibbons: K♣K♠
Portillo needed to find an ace or some spades, otherwise, his Main Event would be over. The board ran out K♥3♣5♣10♠9♠ to give Gibbons a set of kings, sending Portillo to the rail.
In the first hand dealt on Table 641, Julien Mariani shoved the button for 530,000 and Samuel Rosborough isolated with a three-bet from the small blind.
Julien Mariani: A♣10♣
Samuel Rosborough: A♥J♠
Mariani was at risk of a very short Day 6, and didn't find anything to work with on the 5♠3♣K♦ flop. A Q♥ on the turn swapped the outs, but the 2♠ river was a brick, ending Mariani's day in one hand.
