Action folded to Rania Nasreddine in the small blind with Q♠4♦ and told Fabiano Kovalski in the big blind about a new rule that if she folded, Kovalski had to jog around the table.
Nasreddine indeed mucked her hand and Kovalski obliged, doing a quick lap around the feature table before the next hand began.
Fabiano Kovalski raised to 200,000 on the button with A♠4♠ and was three-bet in the small blind to 750,000 by David Coleman with K♣J♠.
Kovalski called and the flop came 9♦8♠5♦. Coleman checked and Kovalski checked back.
The turn brought the J♦ and Coleman checked again after turning top pair. Kovalski checked back again.
The river saved Kovalski though, bringing the A♣. Coleman checked a final time and Kovalski checked his winning pair of aces.
Jianwei Lin raised to 250,000 from the small blind and Alexandre Fournier defended in the big blind.
The A♣4♥9♥ flop checked through to the J♣ on the turn. Lin bet out 200,000 and Fournier called.
The K♦ river saw Lin size up to 650,000. Fournier tanked before making a frustrated fold. Lin distinguished any speculation as he flashed K♣K♥ to the table, having rivered a set.
Jianwei Lin raised to 200,000 from the button and once again, Alexandre Fournier moved all in over Lin's open. Harry Lodge folded in the big blind to put the action back on Lin. The latter once again returned his cards to the dealer, showing the A♥ as he conceded the pot.
Lin asked Fournier to see one, and despite some reluctance, Fournier allowed Lin to see both, with his 7♦7♣ being turned over for all to see.
Andrew Hulme had a quiet opening level to Day 6, and he was one of the short stack entering the break. He's picked up some momentum after busting Jose Barbosa earlier on, dragging in consecutive pots.
Hulme made it 200,000 from under the gun and saw Marius-Catalin Pertea call from the big blind. Pertea check-folded to a bet of 180,000 on the J♠8♦2♣ flop. On the next deal, Hulme defended his big blind after Lodge opened to 200,000. The 8♦7♦2♠ flop checked through to the 6♦ turn. Hulme led out for 180,000, which forced his compatriot out of the pot.
David Coleman opened A♠9♥ to 210,000 from early position and was three-bet to 650,000 by Stephen Song on the button with A♦4♦.
Boris Kuzmanovic woke up with A♥K♣ in the small blind and four-bet to 1,450,000.
Coleman folded and after using a time bank to think, Song elected to wisely fold his hand as well.
Alexandre Fournier raised to 200,000 from under the gun, Harry Lodge three-bet to 500,000 from the hijack and Daniel Myers cold four-bet jammed for 2,620,000, from the small blind. Fournier called off the bet for his last 2,600,000 and Lodge folded.
Alexandre Fournier: K♣K♠ 
Daniel Myers: A♣Q♣
The 6♠K♥10♠ flop gave Fournier top set, but Myers gained a straight draw. The 9♦ turn and 7♠ river were clean for Fournier and he found a huge double up, leaving Myers with just 20,000.
Two hands later, Myers moved all in for 20,000 from the cutoff. Jianwei Lin raised to 225,000 on the button and Lodge called in the big blind.
The J♣10♠6♣ flop checked through to the K♣ on the turn. Lodge checked and then folded to a bet of 300,000 from Lin.
Daniel Myers: A♠3♠
Jianwei Lin: A♥2♥
The river landed the 9♥; despite this being a chopped pot, Myers more than tripled up.
Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 15th episode, Connor speaks with statistician Nate Silver about his new book On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, election forecasting, founding and leaving FiveThirtyEight, his bad beats at feature tables, and co-hosting the Risky Business podcast with Maria Konnikova.
Silver also discusses the upcoming US presidential election, sports analytics, Limit Hold'em, his Silver Bulletin newsletter and why no one should be a nit in life.
This interview was filmed on June 8.
After taking his 20,000 to 90,000, Daniel Myers put in his one big blind stack from early position. Harry Lodge called from the small blind and Marius-Catalin Pertea checked his option in the big blind.
Myers appeared very relaxed after the J♠8♣3♠ flop, chatting to Mitch Hynam and Carl Shaw on the rail. The blinds checked, and did the same on the 7♣ turn and 2♠ river.
"The toppest of pairs," said Myers, as he tabled Q♥J♣. Lodge sent his K♦5♦ into the muck and Pertea did the same with his Q♣9♦.
The following hand, Myers wagered his stack of 370,000. The action folded to Andrew Hulme in the big blind, and he called to put the Liverpudlian at risk.
Daniel Myers: A♦8♥
Andrew Hulme: Q♦J♦
Myers was looking to pull off "the greatest comeback in PokerStars history," and it appeared he would be on his way to do that after the K♥5♣2♣ flop and 6♥ turn. However, the Q♠ completed the board and gave Hulme a pair of queens to seal the checkmark and elimination.
After Sriharsha Doddapaneni moved all in for 1,620,000 from the button, Stephen Song called from the small blind.
Sriharsha Doddapaneni: K♦J♥
Stephen Song: A♦K♠
The board came 10♣8♣6♠5♣8♠ and Doddapaneni became the day's latest elimination as the remaining 11 players guaranteed themselves at least a six figure score of €107,450.
David Coleman rasied to 200,000 from under the gun and Marius-Catalin Pertea called in the cutoff.
Coleman slowed down on the J♦K♥5♦ flop, choosing to check-call a bet of 250,000 from Pertea.
The J♣ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Pertea sized up to 375,000.
The 6♦ river checked to a showdown. Coleman tabled K♦10♣ having paired his king on the flop. Pertea rolled over K♠10♦ for the same hand, chopping this pot.
