Perhaps Table 33 was jealous of the huge three-way pot from Table 28 and wanted one of their own. There was a bit of ruckus and it happened again, this time between John Miller, John Gorsuch, and Adil Khan.

Miller:
Gorsuch:
Khan:

Three painted pairs and Khan had them both covered with the rockets. The flop was harmless as was the turn. Miller sat back down when he hit the river for the big pot.

“Imagine if I had a bigger stack!” Miller joked.

Gorsuch was the shortest and was sent out in 18th and Khan took a small dip.

It was the second big run for Gorsuch this series after his third-place finish in Event 1.

John Miller – 890,000 (45 bb)
Adil Khan – 1,500,000 (75 bb)
John Gorsuch – Eliminated

The craziness continued after dinner. Less than halfway through the post-dinner level, the Main Event is down to two tables.

The biggest hand saw Chris Bolek open the action, David Page moved all in for 520,000 and Antonio Fernandez called all in for less. David Nowling called having both of them covered and Bolek went away.

Nowling:
Page:
Fernandez:

A huge hand with three monsters which Nowling was dominating. He never had a sweat as the board ran to send two players out and push him up to 1,455,000.

While those two were going out, Devon Workman and Ronald Young were eliminated from their tables to send the field down to 18.

This was a great result for Young who earned his seat in the Main Event by winning the May Big Stack Special event.

Loni Harwood has been the most active player since the dinner break and the action moved her to the top of the counts. She sent Jake Schwartz out after dinner, followed by Tony Utnage, and then she took a big chunk of Antonio Fernandez.

The last one had Harwood betting 300,000 with the board complete and reading . Fernandez thought for a few minutes, cut out some chips, and called. Harwood tabled the nut flush and Fernandez gave up his hand.

Loni Harwood – 2,415,000 (121 bb)
Antonio Fernandez – 485,000 (24 bb)

As expected after dinner, there was a flurry of activity that created two doubles and a knockout.

Howard Mash moved all in for 215,000 and Ryan Gianquitti called. Mash was ahead with against and won the race to double up.

On Table 34, Michael Newman moved all in for 190,000 after a flop and Victor Figueroa called. Newman’s was ahead of and the turn and river gave him the double.

While those two hands were happening, Jake Schwartz was eliminated in 25th place by Loni Harwood.

There’s been little action over the last 30 minutes since the three-table redraw. A short-stacked Jeffrey Bohanek went out in 27th but it’s been pretty smooth sailing for everyone else.

Except for TK Miles. He’s been quietly moving his stack higher and Luke Graham moved to his left. No Miles is the chip leader with 1,536,000 while Graham has dropped back to the field.

On Table 39. Ronald Young was all in for his 153,000 stack and Luke Graham called trying to run his stack higher. Young was behind with against but the flop was favorable. The board finished and to give Young the double and send Graham a bit down.
