Right behind her sits German Natalie Hof with 1,100,000 in chips. Hof, who counts $111,556 in total live earnings, with a biggest live cash worth $ 23,594, will try to one-up that performance and collect her first WSOP bracelet on the way. They are the only players so far over the million-mark as Chenyi Liu completes the podium with 785,000.
The bubble burst during Level 13, when Juliana Vidal and Kelli Storck busted at the same time to split the min-cash, guaranteeing the other 160 players at least $1,600.
The eliminations that followed came at an intense speed right after and Lara Eisenberg, the defending champion, who came back to the battle this morning with a short stack managed to reach the money but couldn’t hold much longer and hit the rail in 103rd place for $2,000.
WSOP bracelet winner Leo Margets left the field right before the dinner break due to an unlucky river when her pocket nines fell against Vitaliya Dubovik with ace-jack. Margets made a set but the river gave Dubovik a straight to bust the winner of last year's The Closer event in 80th place for $2,398.
Leo Margets
Loni Hui, who was the last bracelet owner in the field, joined the rail after the dinner break when she shoved her small stack with ace-deuce offsuit and couldn’t hit against ace-king suited in Chenyi Liu’s hand.
Sharma Gargee was the top stack entering the day and faced many ups and downs, but managed to bag a comfortable stack worth 625,000. On the other hand, Molly Mossey and Xuan Liu ran out of chips right before it was time to bag. Liu lost her last chips when her ace-queen fell against Kultida Berman’s ace-king while Mossey couldn’t hit with king-jack against the ace-three of How, who made trips.
The remaining 42 players are guaranteed at least $3,886. However, they will all have their eyes on the WSOP gold bracelet and the top prize of $166,975 that will be awarded Saturday. They will return on Friday, July 1st at 12:00 p.m. local time and play down to the last five players.
Cards will be back in the air on Level 21 with blinds of 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 big blind ante. There will be a 15-minute break after every two 60-minute levels of play and a one hour dinner break after Level 26, around 6:30 p.m.
