John Gorsuch won the Millionaire Maker a few weeks back for $1,344,930 but won't be adding more money to that win here in the Main Event as he has just been eliminated by Marcelo Delgado.
Gorsuch was kind enough to tell the team that Delgado had raised to 6,500 from the early position and two other players called. He shoved his last 42,000 in from the small blind with 
and was called by Delgado who held 
.
The board ran out 
for Delgado to flop two pair and Gorsuch to not find any help on the turn nor river to stay alive.

Timothy Miles bet 14,000 from the big blind into about 20,000, with 
on the felt. Stanislav Barshak was in early position and popped in a raise to 46,500. That sent Miles into the tank, and he tried to exchange some banter with Barshak, who only covered his face and gave him a "sorry, no English."
Miles smiled as he continued to think, and he finally dropped in some chips. Barshak opened 
, which was no good against 
.

In a large pot of already over 200,000 in the middle it was a blind on blind situation between Jacqueline Burkhart in the small blind and Daniel Lefebvre in the big blind. The turn was out and the board read 
. Both players checked carefully. The river brought the 
. Burkhart thought for a while before checking and Lefebvre moved all in for a remaining amount of around 290,000.
Burkhart thought it over and sat back in her chair, ready for a long tank. But after not that long she announced fold and Lefebvre took down the big pot.
"The silent assassin" said Burkhart in response to Lefebvre's silent actions at the table. "That's what I should have named you".

still tabled as her table neighbor received a full double with 
on a board of

David Moll open-jammed for 21,000 from middle position and was called by Christopher Sly from late position.
Christopher Sly:
David Moll: 
The 
flop was no help to Moll but the paired board did leave chop possibilities with the turn and river still to come.
Moll took a sigh of relief after the dealer dropped the 
on the turn as he was one card away from doubling up.
The river however was not as kind to Moll as it fell the giving both players two-pair, but Sly held the nine kicker and Moll was eliminated from the tournament.

One million chip stacks in the Main Event are like London buses. You wait ages for one to come along, and then two come along at once. The latest player joining the seven-figure club is Belgian Bart Lybaert.
According to Lybaert, he doubled through a player with 
suited against his opponent's 
on a 
board, with all the money going in on the river. That 900,000 pot saw him score a massive double up and he now sits on 1.1 million in chips.
