Schumacher Felted by Taylor

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Johan Schumacher
Johan Schumacher

There were two players on neighbouring tables who essentially pushed all-in and kept a single chip behind while on the pay jump. One of them was Johan Schumacher in the cutoff, who had invested 1,550,000 with 5,000 behind. On the button, Andy Taylor pushed all-in to isolate and Schumacher went into the tank.

While glancing over at the other table and even asking if there was an all-in and call, he grabbed his smart phone and typed a few messages in WhatsApp before then calling it off following the double-up of the other player.

Johan Schumacher: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Andy Taylor: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The Brit took the lead on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop and retained it throughout the {k-Clubs} turn as well as the {5-Spades} river, sending Schumacher to the rail.

Rebei Ousts Ramsey With a Straight Flush

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Karim Rebei
Karim Rebei

Nicholas Ramsey was all in for around 1,300,000 from the cutoff and up against Karim Rebei in early position.

Nicholas Ramsey: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Karim Rebei: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

"We should be the feature table," a tablemate said about yet another all in at this table.

The {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop had something for everyone, giving Ramsey top pair and Rebei a straight flush draw. The {7-Spades} on the turn completed his straight flush as the entire table gasped and took out their cameras to capture the board.

The river came the {10-Spades}, improving Rebei to a higher straight flush as Ramsey hit the rail.

Wells' Fairytale Run Comes To An End

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Shelby Wells
Shelby Wells

Shelby Wells moved all in for her last 1,380,000 from middle position and was looked up by Victor Li out of the big blind.

Shelby Wells: {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Victor Li: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Though behind, Wells did have two live cards. The {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop immediately had Wells with one foot out the door but the {7-Spades} turn did keep her drawing live. The miracle runner-runner was not to be, however, as the {8-Spades} hit the felt on the river to end Wells' impressive run. With her elimination, the honour of last woman standing in this year's main event can be bestowed upon Efthymia Litsou, who is still going strong with over 12,000,000.

ClubGG Qualifier Radwan Eliminated With Kings Versus Aces

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mohammed Radwan
Mohammed Radwan

The action started with a min-raise by Vadim Rozin to 200,000 and ClubGG qualifier Mohammed Radwan then three-bet to 625,000 on the button. Rozin pushed all-in and Radwan quickly called as a cold deck was revealed.

Mohammed Radwan: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Vadim Rozin: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Following a board of {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}, the superior pair held up and both stacks were counted. Rozin had 4,355,000 at his disposal and that covered Radwan by around two and a half big blinds to end the run of the ClubGG qualifier.

Mermelstein Busts Bithell to Take Chip Lead

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Aaron Mermelstein
Aaron Mermelstein

George Turner opened to 200,000 in the cutoff and Oliver Bithell moved all in for what looked to be 2,235,000 on the button. Aaron Mermelstein took some time to deliberate in the big blind as the cameras surrounded the table, and eventually called, while Turner folded.

Oliver Bithell: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Aaron Mermelstein: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Bithell was in rough shape as the dealer fanned the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, and the {5-Spades} turn left him drawing dead to the {6-Spades} river, while Mermelstein moved into the chip lead.

First Break of the Day

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

As announced at the start of the day, the players just completed level 26 and are going on a 20-minute break. The breaks will continue after each level going forward with the dinner break coming after level 28. In the first hour of the day, there were some key eliminations and big pots.

You can take a look at some of the highlights here:

Weis Knocked Out by Rebei

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Oliver Weis
Oliver Weis

A raise to 300,000 was in front of Karim Rebei in the small blind and Oliver Weis then made it 1,200,000 to go from ane arly position. Rebei pushed all-in with the slightly superior stack and Weis called for around 4,800,000.

Oliver Weis: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Karim Rebei: {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

"I take a king on the river ... or maybe on the flop," Rebei joked right before the flop fell {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Nothing changed on the {a-Spades} turn and the {2-Hearts} river to send a gutted Weis to the payout desk.

At almost the same time, Timothy McDermott was also eliminated as the field was reduced further.

Zhang Crashes And Burns Out Of Contention

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Zilong Zhang
Zilong Zhang

Zilong Zhang opened to 200,000 from middle position and was called by Cedrric Trevino in the big blind.

Trevino checked on the {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop and then raised to 470,000 when Zhang continued for 180,000. After some thought Zhang called.

The {6-Clubs} turn saw Trevino take over the betting lead, firing off 1,640,000, enough to force Zhang all in. After tanking for nearly two minutes, Zhang called it off to put himself at risk.

Zilong Zhang: {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Cedrric Trevino: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Zhang was in bad shape as many of his potential outs were covered by Trevino holding a club. The river bricked out {k-Diamonds}, ending what has certainly been a memorable main event journey for Zhang, though one that will inevitably be tainted with disappointment considering he came into the day with nearly double the tournament average.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Damian Salas
Damian Salas

Damian Salas was all in for 2,170,000 and up against Seungmook Jung.

Damian Salas: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Seungmook Jung: {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop gave Jung a pair, but he improved no further as the board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. The 2020 Main Event champion loudly clapped his hands as he secured a double up.

Down to the last 620,000 Ramiro Petrone shipped it in from the hijack and was looked up by John Eames in the cutoff for the following showdown to emerge.

Ramiro Petrone: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
John Eames: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

There was no help for Petrone on the {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} board as the superior pair held and ensured the next knockout for Eames.
