When the tournament was on break, there was some talk of deal but it was quickly shut down by Arnold Yaxley, who preferred to play rather than look at the numbers. He must have had a premonition as on the first hand back from the break, he eliminated a very dangerous opponent from the field.
Arnold opened to 500K from early position, and was met with an all-in worth nearly 3-million from Simon Pin-Disle. He made the call and the two were flipping for over 6 million chips.

6th place: Simon Pin-Disle – $5,800.00
