Big O
Farhad Jamasi potted to 360,000, and Sergio Benso stuck around with a call.
On the 7♠A♥3♣ flop, Jamasi potted again, and Benso called the bet of 840,000. Jamasi potted for a third time on the 9♥ turn, and the bet this time amounted to 2,520,000. Yet again, Benso called, and the two went off to a 10♦ river.
Here, Jamasi slowed down with a check, and Benso took the initiative, announcing, "pot," which was enough to put his opponent all-in.
Jamasi thought for quite some time, and counted out his stack, before eventually returning his cards to the dealer.
If one set-over-set cooler wasn't painful enough, the 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event produced two within moments of each other on different tables. Both were every bit as brutal as the bad beat that kicked off Day 6.
High-stakes pros Espen Sandvik and Andy "Andy Stacks" Tsai both saw deep runs come to heartbreaking ends on Day 6 after flopping or turning sets, only to discover their opponents held even bigger ones.
Tsai is best known for battling in some of the biggest cash games in the world, while Sandvik is no stranger to the high roller circuit either, with numerous cashes in $25,000 buy-in events. Neither could survive one of poker's nastiest coolers.
Five Card PLO
Sergio Benso raised to 260,000, before Farhad Jamasi three-bet to 780,000. Benso called, then folded to a continuation-bet of 600,000 on the A♦5♥10♥ flop.
Two hands later, the players played a limped pot. Jamasi check-called a bet of 180,000 on the 2♣6♥5♣ flop, then check-folded to the 500,000 thrown out on the 7♦ turn.
The final two have taken there seats, as heads up commences.
Players are taking a ten-minute break before heads up play begins. The match is set to start at 5:05 p.m. local time.

Steven Liu: K♦K♥Q♠8♦7♠
Sergio Benso: A♣A♥Q♣J♠9♣
Both players had big high hands, with Benso's aces holding the edge over Liu's kings.
