Tajiou Not Afraid to Die

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

Mounir Tajiou moved all in for 1,275,000 in the big blind and Daehyung Lee called on the button.

Mounir Tajiou: 54 All in
Daehyung Lee: A6

Tajiou hit a pair on the J52 flop to take the lead, while the 3 fell on the turn. "Give him an ace," Tajiou said going to the river, which came the J to earn him a double up.

"Do you think I'm scared? If I die, I die," Tajiou yelled out.

Merson's Queens No Good Against Sudell's Bullets

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

Sergio Veloso made it 300,000 from middle position with A7 and Greg Merson called in the cutoff. Derek Sudell three-bet squeezed to 1,200,000 on the button, and Veloso four-bet to 2,000,000.

Merson then five-bet shoved for 9,075,000, Sudell committed his stack of around 5,500,000, and Veloso quickly retreated.

Derek Sudell: AA All in
Greg Merson: QQ

Sudell had the rockets and was looking to use them to ascend the counts. A flop of 4108 was clean for Sudell, and the 8 turn left Merson with one shot at two outs. None of which came on the 7 river, and Sudell doubled up as Merson's stack took a critical hit.

Leo Margets made it 300,000 under the gun with K10 before Juan Carlos Vecino three-bet to 750,000 from the hijack. Sejo Kasic four-bet jammed for 4,275,000, which only Vecinco called.

Sejo Kasic: 99 All in
Juan Carlos Vecino: AK

Vecino and Kasic were off to the races with Kasic's tournament life on the line.

Vecino picked up a straight draw on the JQ8 flop, and improved to top pair when the K fell on the turn. The river was the Q, which spelled the end for Kasic on the final level of Day 6.

Ozimok came back with an all-in shove this time, and Darkin called for his last 3,500,000. Ozimok turned over Q10 for a flush, and Darkin tossed 109 into the muck on his way to the rail.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hallaert Storms to the Top With Double Knockout

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