Day 6 Round Up
205 started; 78 remain
Day six saw Johnny Chan's amazing 2010 main event run come to an end. Chan finished in 156th place when he ran into pocket Aces twice (first with Kings, then with Jacks). At least he can't complain that he lost cause he played bad. Cold deck!
Michael Mizrachi is the only Mizrachi brother left as short-stacked Robert couldn't make it through the day. Michael went from 1.79m to 7.5m and is now in second place, behind Theo Jorgensen (9.3m).
Other notable players eliminated included: Phil Galfond, JP Kelly, Theo Tran, Jesper Hougaard and Christian Harder.
Still in with a chance: Johnny Lodden, William Thorson, Alexander Kostritsyn, Scott Clements, David Benyamine, David Assouline and Bryn Kenney.
Day 7 Round Up
78 started; 27 remain
Chip leader at the start of day seven, Theo Jorgensen, overplayed his nut flush draw and ended up finishing in 30th place. Maybe the $255,000 he earned will help ease the pain!
Other notable players eliminated included: Bryn Kenney, David Benyamine, Eric Baldwin, Alexander Kostritsyn, David Assouline
Still in with a chance: Johnny Lodden, William Thorson, Michael Mizrachi, Scott Clements and David Baker.
Joseph Cheong finishes day seven as chip leader with 24,490,000; Soi Nguyen close behind with 23,100,000.
