After a couple levels of very slow action, things are really heating up in the Main Event.
Jiachen Gong has just won a huge pot to double through Benoit Jean. On a board reading 
Jiachen went all-in on the river, and after tanking for at least 3 minutes, Benoit made the call – only to muck his hand when he saw Jiachen’s 
for trip 6s. This sent Benoit down to around 450K – by far his lowest point in a long time in this tournament.
On the other table, Jessie Wheatley has made it red-hot.
First she took out Dean Murphy who had been in a very strong position all day until right at the end. After losing about 400K to be left with about 900K, he found himself in a hand with Jessie who held trips and ended up taking Dean’s whole stack. Almost immediately after that, she stacked Michael Korovine as well, who had successfully laddered up a couple of pay jumps but never seemed to get anything going.
Jessie is now playing more than 2.5M, Jiachen has grown his stack to 1.2M, and while writing this, 2 other players have been eliminated bringing us to the final table!
