The record-breaking $10,000 WSOP Main Event, with 10,112 entries and a prize pool of $94,041,600, where worldwide fame and a $10,000,000 prize await the winner, had its sixth day of play yesterday.

Adrian Mateos threw down kings, then lost with aces, what did Day 5 of the WSOP Main Event bring?

Day 6 attracted 160 players, and of those, after five levels, we've recognized 59 players who have advanced to Day 7. The chipleader here is American player Kevin Davis with a stack of 26,250,000. Among the advancers there are still names like Niklas Astedt (15,800,000), Kristen Foxen (14,500,000), Brian Rast (12,675,000), Alex Keating (5,250,000), Aliaksandr Shylko (3,850,000) and Day 4 and 5 chipleader Stephen Song (2,175,000), who is now on the short stack.

All players already have at least $160,000 in the bag. Play will start at blinds of 125k/250k/250k and five 120-minute levels will be played.

Striaght flush vs. fullhouse

We also witnessed a brutal cooler in the WSOP Main Event yesterday that is sure to please no player. The whole situation involved poker dealer Sami Bechahed, who won the NAPT Main Event last year.

There were about 80 players still in the hand and Sami hit a full house after laying out a full board. So he decided to bet 2.6 million, to which his opponent Luis Vazquez responded with an all-in for 4,825,000. Bechahed didn't hesitate, and since he had slightly more than his opponent, he decided to call this all-in. Little did he know that Vazquez had hit a straight flush on the board, so his full house was in short supply in this case. Sami fell to the last 4 blinds after this hand, which he later lost. He finished in 74th place with a $120,000 prize.
