Garner Wins a Pivotal Race

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Michael Garner
Michael Garner

Paul Gibbons raised to 300,000 with 66 from the middle position, and Juan Carlos Vecino called out of the hijack. Michael Garner deliberated for quite some time before jamming for 6,925,000 from the button. The blinds and Gibbons folded, but Vecino made the call.

Michael Garner: AK All in
Juan Carlos Vecino: JJ

Garner had Big Slick against the two jacks of Vencino. Garner moved into pole position on the A73 flop, having hit a pair of aces. The rest of the board came 106, and Garner earned the full double-up at the expense of Vecino.

Iachan Double Topples Beckenstein

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Daniel Iachan
Daniel Iachan

Daniel Iachan raised to 2,000,000 with 425,000 in late position. Joshua Beckenstein in the hijack one seat over declared all-in and that forced out all other players behind, while Iachan called.

Daniel Iachan: 99 All in
Joshua Beckenstein: 88

Iachan had little to fear on the Q6264 runout to secure the double and surpass Beckenstein on the leaderboard.

Pupo continued for 650,000 and Sturm called. The turn was the 2 and Pupo moved all in for 2,375,000. Sturm quickly tossed his cards away this time.

Ponce's Turn Lead gets the Job Done

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Leo Margets made it 300,000 from middle position with AQ and only Diego Ponce called from the small blind holding QJ.

Ponce started out with a check on the 488 flop, and Margets fired out a bet of 275,000. Ponce made the call.

The 5 came on the turn, prompting Ponce to lead out for 1,100,000. Margets threw her hand away, and Ponce pulled in the pot.

Hallaert Storms to the Top With Double Knockout

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Kenny Hallaert
Kenny Hallaert

Jose Bogarin made it 2,800,000 from middle position, leaving himself just 75,000 behind. Kenny Hallaert called on the button, then Derek Sudell then moved all in from the big blind for around 13,200,000. Bogarin put in the rest, and Hallaert snap-called.

Jose Bogarin: JJ All in
Derek Sudell: QQ All in
Kenny Hallaert: AA

Hallaert had a chance to bring a humongous stack into Day 7 of the Main Event, and that was all but secured as the flop of A58 gave him top set. Sudell did have some backdoor potential with clubs, but the 7 on the turn ended all hope. The 4 on the river was just a formality, and Hallaert raked in a giant pot at the end of the night.

Skhulukhiya Eliminated by Dunaway

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Giorgii Skhulukhiya
Giorgii Skhulukhiya

Braxton Dunaway opened the action with a raise to 300,000 and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya three-bet jammed his short stack of 1,475,000 in the hijack thereafter. It folded back to Dunaway, who asked for an exact count and called after nearly two minutes.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A9 All in
Braxton Dunaway: K9

Skhulukhiya had grinded a short stack for many hours today and got it in ahead. However, the K83 flop left him with a mountain to climb and he could not get there on the Q turn and 10 river. The Georgian bowed out in 63rd place and earned $135,000, while all other remaining players have reached the pay jump to $165,000.

Afriat Uses the Big Stack to Bully

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Maksim Pisarenko raised to 325,000 from under the gun with AJ and Eric Afriat just called in the hijack with KQ. They went heads-up to a flop of 664 and Pisarenko continued with a bet of 225,000 which Afriat called.

The turn brought the 3 and Pisarenko sized up another bet of 825,000. Afriat put together a raise to 1,800,000 with just king-high and Pisarenko was forced to dump the best hand into the muck.

Voegele Forces Out Eychenne and Pupillo

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Three ways to the QQ2 flop, Nick Pupillo in the small blind and Octavian Voegele in the big blind checked. Thomas Eychenne bet 200,000 from under the gun and Pupillo called, Voegele check-raised to 600,000 and Pupillo was the only caller.

Both checked the 2 on the turn and the Q river brought a full house on the board. Pupillo checked again and then faced a bet of 1,500,000 by Voegele. After some hesitation, Pupillo sighed and folded.

Overton Flipped Out by Chen

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Yuchen Chen was eliminated by Aaron Overton on a board of QK75A, with Chen holding 6x6x to lose to the A10 of Overton.

As the hand played out, the rambunctious duo of Albert Calderon and Mounir Tajiou had a not-safe-for-stream discussion regarding their wives and OnlyFans.

"You should start one," Tajiou told Calderon.
