Imagine having a one in 106 shot to win $10 million. That dream is a reality for all remaining players in the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event at the start of Day 6. With five full days of play already behind them, they are the last ones standing out of a second-largest Main Event field ever of 8,569 players.
Running this deep in the Main Event has already guaranteed them at least $59,259 for their efforts, but the truly big prizes are looming just ahead. The first six-figure cashes will be handed out on Day 6, which will be another long day at the tables with kick-off at noon and 5.5 two-hour levels being played out to whittle the field down as close to the final 27 as possible.
The 2019 Main Event is shaping up to be the story of seasoned veterans challenging the lone first-timer at the top. Timothy Su saw an incredible Day 5 heater end with him sat behind a monstrous 19,235,000 chips, dwarfing the challenges led by Sam Greenwood (11,950,000). Su's juicy stack will certainly make him a prime target for the hungry pack of professionals in the hunt.
First-timer Timothy Su sports the chip lead coming into Day 6
While Su may sport only a few thousand in cashes on The Hendon Mob, Greenwood already racked up over $18,000,000 lifetime and is arguably one of the top tournament players in the world today. Another giant, long-time GPI top-ranked player Alex Foxen (2,655,000), will join Greenwood on Day 6, as well as four-time bracelet winner Jeff Madsen (1,795,000) as part of the standout names. It's an all-male field that's left, as the last woman Jill Bryant, featured by PokerNews, got eliminated late on Day 5.
Other notables such as Australian pro Warwick Mirzikanian (11,430,000), French hope Romain Lewis (10,600,000), Romania's Florian Duta (8,550,000), Chad Power (7,480,000), Joe Hachem's son Daniel Hachem (6,765,000), 888poker Qualifier Mihai Manole (5,685,000), poker industry veteran Garry Gates (4,990,000), and Brazil's top star Yuri Dzivielevski (3,530,000) are also in the hunt for poker immortality. Fans of Fan Fan (1,190,000) can also rejoice as he'll be back on Day 6, but with a small stack, he has his work cut out for him.
However, they're joined by the biggest name left in the field, one man that has run deep countless times in the Main Event before: Antonio Esfandiari. 'The Magician', winner of the first-ever Big One for One Drop for more than $18,000,000, starts Day 6 with an above-average stack of 6,630,000. All eyes will be on Esfandiari as he'll try to pull a rabbit out of the hat once again and add the biggest prize in all of poker to his already incredible poker resumé.
Antonio Esfandiari will be back on Day 6 of the 2019 Main Event
