Much like Ryan Gianquitti, TK Miles is taking the quiet road to the top of the counts. He picked up a nice pot after a Joshua Zur open to 160,000 and he called from the button along with Steve Duncker in the big blind.

All three players checked the flop and Duncker bet 210,000 after the turn. Zur and Miles called followed by the river. Duncker and Zur checked, Miles put out 550,000 and Duncker mucked.

Zur sat back for several minutes, counted out his stack a few times, and then folded to give Miles another nice pot.

TK Miles – 3,950,000 (49 bb)
Steve Duncker – 1,600,000 (20 bb)
Joshua Zur – 1,800,000 (23 bb)

Steady and quietly, Ryan Gianquitti moved into the chip lead after the first break. No major hands, only a series of pots to move him up while the other stacks flattened out.

He sits with 3,700,000 after 30 minutes of the new level while Joshua Zur is the latest short stack.

Steve Duncker made another all in move, this time for 1,090,000 and Joshua Zur called. The rest of the table folded and they were flipping.

Duncker:

Duncker needed help to stick around and the good news showed up on the flop. The turn and river were no sweat and the short stack got his double.

Steve Duncker – 2,380,000 (30 bb)
Joshua Zur – 1,900,000 (24 bb)

The abbreviated level came to an end, players grabbed a quick break, and we are back underway with full 90-minute levels from here till heads-up.

Other than the TK Miles double up, there was little chip movement except for Steve Duncker putting in some three-bet shoves with his short stack that made it through.

Chris Bolek opened to 125,000 from under the gun and picked up calls from Ryan Gianquitti in the small blind and TK Miles in the big. Gianquitti and Miles checked the flop and Bolek continued for 225,000.

Gianquitti folded and Miles moved all in for 1,580,000. Bolek shrugged and called for the first big showdown.

Miles:
Bolek:

Bolek flopped top two and was ahead against Miles’ flush draw/gutshot draw. The turn completed the flush for Miles and Bolek could not find a river boat when it finished .

TK Miles – 3,575,000 (60 bb)

Cards are in the air for the extra day of the Main Event. And we had fireworks ride off the bat that turned into not so big of a deal.

Josias Santos was all in on the first hand and Chris Bolek was there with him. Santos tabled and Bolek had with no drama when they chopped the pot.

The Deepest Stack structure for the Main Event meant that it will take an extra day of poker to determine our champion. There are still seven players left vying for the title with a lot of talent, success, and accomplishments.

WSOP bracelet winner/WSOP Circuit winner/RRPO Championship winner Chris Bolek returns with the chip lead and he’s followed by two-time WSOP champ Loni Harwood. TK Miles, Ryan Gianquitti, Josias Santos, Joshua Zur, and Steve Duncker round out the final table and it’s still anyone’s game.

Everyone is guaranteed at least $17,354 but they all want the $111,196 up top for the winner.

They will restart the action midway through Level 26 with blinds at 30,000/60,000/60,000 and 90-minute levels
