Kenneth Baime limped in from the small blind and Johnny Oshana checked his option in the big.
On a flop of 6♥2♥J♥ Baime bet out for 6,000,000 and Oshana raised to 12,000,000. Baime made the fold.
The very next hand, Baime raised to 12,000,000 on the button and was called by Ryan Hull in the big blind. Hull then check-folded to a bet of 10,000,000 on the 3♦2♠6♣ flop.

ESPN is ramping up its WSOP Main Event coverage this year, the first year the Bristol, CT-based sports network has aired poker's premier tournament since COVID.
The $10,000 buy-in World Championship event is underway at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, and runs through Aug. 5, with a three-week break when the final table is reached. Poker fans who watched the WSOP on ESPN before it moved to CBS Sports Network from 2021-2025 will notice some similarities to the broadcasts of old, and a new, enhanced Main Event television and livestream schedule.
The three remaining players are on a 15-minute break.
Ryan Hull folded on the button, and Kenneth Baime limped in from the small blind. Johnny Oshana then made it 15,000,000 to go from the big blind before Baime shoved over the top.
Oshana thought for quite some time before finally letting his cards go.
Luis Genel moved all in from the small blind for 32,500,000, and Ryan Hull called from the big blind with slightly more chips.
Luis Genel: A♥6♦ 
Ryan Hull: 6♠6♣
The board stayed safe for the sixes with 4♣5♦4♥J♦5♣, and two pair won Hull the knockout.
Johnny Oshana opened to 11,000,000 first to act. Luis Genel, who had chipped down some due to the elevated blinds, moved all in for 15,000,000 on his left. It folded back to Oshana, who laughed. "The only time I try to bluff!" he announced, while sticking in the extra 4,000,000.
Luis Genel: Q♥J♦
Johnny Oshana: 7♣4♠
Oshana still had two live cards, but they weren't very live following the J♣J♥6♦ flop. Genel then hit a full house on the 4♦6♠ runout for good measure, as he continued the spin-up.
Johnny Oshana opened to 11,000,000 as first to act. Said El Harrak on his left then moved all in for 21,400,000. On the button, Luis Genel seemingly had quite the difficult decision. He thought about it for a while before slamming in his final 5,000,000. The blinds folded, and it was a three-way all in.
Luis Genel: A♠K♠
Said El Harrak: A♦J♣
Johnny Oshana: Q♠Q♦
The 7♦8♠K♣ flop had Genel breathing a sigh of relief, as he scooped the main pot on the 6♦4♥ runout. Oshana's queens held on the side to send El Harrak home.
Said El Harrak raised all in from the cutoff for 26,900,000, and Ryan Hull called from the button with a slightly shorter stack.
Ryan Hull: K♣Q♦
Said El Harrak: 6♠6♦
The board was Q♠5♠J♥9♦3♠ and Hull held the best hand with a pair of queens.
In the very next hand, El Harrak was all in for his last 600,000 from under the gun, Hull raised to 9,000,000 from the button, and Johnny Oshana called from the big blind. The flop was 7♥Q♦5♦, and Oshana checked, while Hull bet 6,500,000. Oshana called.
On the turn A♥, Oshana checked and folded after Hull bet 11,000,000.
El Harrak stated, "Unreal, I was blind."
Said El Harrak: K♣Q♠
Ryan Hull: Q♣J♥
The river 6♥ was irrelevant, and El Harrak stayed alive with his pair of queens with a king kicker.
On the third hand, El Harrak was all in again from the big blind for 5,000,000, and Oshana called from the small blind.
Said El Harrak: A♥5♣
Johnny Oshana: 7♦5♥
The board brought 4♦J♥J♣K♣4♠, and El Harrak was mounting an official comeback with jacks and fours on the board and his ace kicker.
