Day 6 occurred to be rather fast and hard for big-name pros, as Vanessa Selbst, Gavin Smith, Jason Somerville and Sam Holden were all eliminated in the early stages of the penultimate day leaving 27 relative unknowns heading into Day 7.

Has there any drama left? Sure, and it is associated with two females - Norwegian Elisabeth Hille and France’s Gaelle Baumann both looking to become the first woman to make the Main Event final table since Barbera Enright in 1995. Hille finished with an impressive 9.7 million chips while Baumann will bring 5.5 million to the table tonight.


New bracelet-winner Greg Merson is looking to cap off an incredible $1.2 million-winning WSOP with a Main Event final table appearance. PokerStars Pro Jan Heitmann also survived the day and is looking to make it back-to-back German players in the Main Event final table.

It is noteworthy that this year's WSOP Main event will be remembered not only for the participants’ record numbers, but also for four bubble-boys. The four players who went bust in the biggest event of the year were dealt A-A, A-A, K-K and Q-Q. The collective 666th place finishers were Steve Rosen, David Kelley, Desmond Portano and Dane Lomas. Those four “victims” were to play for a $10,000 seat in the 2012 WSOP Main Event; however, David Kelley came to the rescue and agreed to take the seat in exchange for a $2,500 payment to each of the other three players. So, David becomes the first official entrant into the 2013 WSOP Main Event.
