Unfortunately after all was said and done, we have no one to rail anymore. They were all eliminated towards the end of the evening.
Ben Straate said goodbye to the tournament after losing a 3-way pot where he was a slight favorite. Both Straate and Theo Tran saw themselves all-in against Robert Pisano, who had a sizable stack. Straat held Nines versus the Ace-Jack from Tran and the 8-7 suited from Pisano. Lady Luck smiled to Tran, as an Ace came on the turn and he took the pot, while Straate lost his last Main Event chips and finished in 110th place, earning $57,102. Raidan's hopes ended in a cooler. He shoved all-in with AK and Gabriel Alarie called with Kings. Raidan hoped for an Ace, but there was no help from the board and he was out in 105th place. After such a disappointment, Raidan got a sweet $57,102 for his efforts.
Our heads-up specialist, Fayth, lost in a race where he 4-bet shoved 88 and his opponent called with A-K. Fayth himself said in our railing thread that he ran incredibly bad when flipping in this tournament, and sadly this time it was no different. On his run, Fayth eliminated the likes of Robert Mizrachi and Phil Galfond. From the WSOP reports we can see that he did really well for most part of the day, but had some tough beats in the latter stages of Day 6. Regardless of that, Fayth finished in 97th place for a $67,422 payout. We would like to congratulate these three guys for putting up an impressive performance!
Now back to the tournament, Dannish Theo Jorgensen is leading the field with a massive 9,300,000 chip stack. He's closely followed by 2nd place Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi, who seems to be on a sick run since the start of this year's WSOP. Other notables still in are Adam 'Roothlus' Levy, Johnny 'bad_ip' Lodden and David Benyamine. The 78 remaining players will return today and play their way up to Day 8, which should have 27 players and decide the November Nine of this year's Main Event. After the usual slow start in number of registrations, this turned out to be the 2nd largest Main Event ever, with 7,319 entries! Now the 78 survivors are playing for a shot at the desired $8,944,138 first place prize!
