Unlike the previous action of Day 2, Event took their time making it into the money. It took them 12 hands to finally go from 64 players to 63.

During that time there were five double up including starting Day 2 leader Jeffrey Fogel. He did not fare well over the first few levels but managed a double up through Wally Maddah with AhAd versus AcKc.

The 12th and final hand saw big stack Karim Baruque call an all in for 42,000 and both had to wait until all other hands were complete. After the other tables wrapped up, they tabled their hands and it looked like another double.

Baruque: As4s
Opponent: KdKc

The short-stacked player was in great position for the double and faded the ace on the 6c5s3h board. Baruque flopped an open-ended straight draw and turned a flush draw when it came Qs. Baruque had 18 river outs and hit the Js to take the pot and put Event 6 in the money.

Karim Baruque – 520,000 (87 bb)
