There was a dramatic end to Day 5 of the 2018 Main Event as a big storm in Las Vegas caused a power cut to the Rio and the surrounding areas late on, so organisers made the decision to end the day early and have the 109 remaining players bag up and return today to play Day 6 as scheduled!

Chip leader right now is Michael Dyer on just over 12million chips, but there is a host of big names still in the running including former champion Joe Cada and 2018 bracelet winner Shaun Deeb, with all remaining players guaranteed at least $91,000


------

Popular poker coach Ryan Leng wins his first WSOP bracelet in Event #51: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty for just over a quarter of a million as well as a host of $500 bounties for the knockouts along the way to victory!




------

Scott Seiver overcame an All-American final table in Event #52: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship, to win his 2nd career WSOP bracelet and adds just under $300,000 to his $23million in live tournament earnings! Scott hasn't played many events this year but has managed a 2nd place as well as this victory so it has been a successful series for sure!




------

There were some big names on the final table of Event #53: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, with Daniel Negreanu, Eli Elezra and Mike Matusow all making the final 9 from the 935 entries, but they weren't able to stop Joey Couden from using his 2nd biggest chip stack at the start of the final day to win his first bracelet!




------

In a new addition to the schedule, Portugal's Diogo Veiga was able to take down Event #54: Big Blind Antes $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em for his countries first bracelet this summer, and third ever! A jubilant Portuguese rail saw Diogo continues his hot streak as he gets another $500,000+ win, following his final table finish in the partypoker Millions Grand Final Barcelona main event back in April

109 hopefuls became just 26 in Day 6 of the 2018 WSOP Main Event! Aram Zobian finished the day as chipleader with just over 41million, over 10million ahead of 2nd place. Out of the big names, it's only Joe Cada and Sylvain Loosli still in the hunt. The remaining players are playing down to a final table of 9 right now!

------

Event #55: $1,000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold'em broke records with a massive 1,032 entries this year and it was an unlikely Germany-India partnership between Giuseppe Pantaleo and Nikita Luther who both take home their first WSOP bracelets and their share of $175,805!




------

A healthy 119 players entered Event #56: $10,000 Razz Championship, but it's mixed game specialist Calvin Anderson who comes out on top to win his second career bracelet and a nice $309,220 in his 8th cash of the 2018 series so far taking his total live earnings to over $2million!




------

It was a great day for the ever popular Jessica Dawley as she takes down this years Event #57: $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship! The Seminole Hard Rock ambassador bested a bumper 696 player field for a career best score of $ 130,230




------

After two previous runner-up finishes, it was third time lucky for 'Survivor' star Jean-Robert Bellande as he gets the proverbial monkey off his back with victory in Event #58: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed, his 24th WSOP cash and first bracelet to go with the $616,302 win

The 2018 World Series of Poker Main Event final table is SET!

There was an absolutely epic hand with 10 left with 3 preflop all-in's making a ridiculously big pot, but it's a cooler one with Aces Vs Kings Vs Kings!

Enjoy
