The 304 remaining players head into the third break of the day, which will last 20 minutes. During this time, the 500-denomination chips will be removed.
Daniel Negreanu, a Canadian poker icon and current GGPoker Ambassador, has long been considered one of the game's all-time greats. A seven-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion, Negreanu most recently added to his impressive resume by winning the prestigious $50,000 Poker Players Championship in 2024.
Negreanu’s achievements span decades, and he is the only player to be named WSOP Player of the Year twice, first in 2004 and again in 2013. His consistent success and impact on the game earned him a well-deserved place in the Poker Hall of Fame in 2014.
In this game, the following hand occurred:
After raise-folding a bunch of hands, Negreanu raised from early position to 5,000 and was shocked that it almost made it through without a three-bet, but Sidney Smith decided to take his chance and three-bet all in for 18,000. Negreanu stated, "Alright, I am not folding this time."
Sidney Smith: K♥4♠
Daniel Negreanu: A♦J♠
Negreanu was relieved to see that the three-bet was very light and the board came out with 5♠5♥10♣7♦8♠, and ace high with a pair of fives was good for the knockout.

Chih Fan has denied violating WSOP Rule 64 regarding approved electronic devices after receiving a one-round penalty for allegedly viewing a GTO chart at the table during Day 6 of the Main Event.
The Taiwanese player strongly denied the accusation at the time and has since released a statement saying he was watching “Doug Polk’s YouTube” during the hand in question. Despite the explanation, the ruling was upheld and the penalty enforced.
