Ryan Miller completed, John Hennigan raised, and Miller called. Hennigan bet his paired door card on fourth street, and Miller called again.

Hennigan kept firing on fifth street, with Miller obliging with a call. On sixth street, Hennigan bet all in, and Miller snapped him off.

Miller had made a seven-low, and his wheel draw came in on seventh street to make a straight for the high. Hennigan's three queens did not turn into a full house, and he mucked his seventh card along with the others before he left the tournament area in haste.

Michael Mizrachi pulled off an improbable run on Wednesday, taking down the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $10 million in the same year he won the $50,000 WSOP Poker Players Championship.

"The Grinder," now an eight-time bracelet winner, dusted off the competition on the final table's second day in just over his one-hour prediction. He first eliminated the smallest stack, Kenny Hallaert, the sixth-place finisher in 2016, on the first hand by winning a 60/40. Hallaert, a PokerStars Team Pro, took home $3 million.

Mizrachi then put the new smallest stack, Braxton Dunaway, all in with A♦10♦ and received a call from 10♥6♥. The best hand would hold up through the five community cards, and Dunaway was out in third place ($4 million) two hands into the session.
