 The $5000 No Limit Hold'em Six-handed event looked promissing after day 1, with Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier as 5th stack at the end of the day, and Ryan Daut and Jonathan "TwistedEcho" Heath both all in the final 96 they were very close to the money, 78 would get paid. In the end, unfortunately we didnt see any of them back at our final table, TwistedEcho got knocked out 68th, good for $8,323 , Ryan Daut did a bit better, he finished 31st (he got all-in with 93o being shortstacked, called by TT), for a $16,647 cash. ElkY got the furthest of them all, but still it wasn't enough, when he got knocked out 16th (he flopped TPTK, but his opponent had aces), cashing $31,781 . Their bracelets will have to wait a little longer.
6 other players did make the final table of course, which started with Richard Lyndaker as chipleader, and Davidi Kitai, looking for a second bracelet, starting with a shortstack.
Seat 1: Sam Trickett - 1,000,450
Seat 2: Davidi Kitai - 298,000
Seat 3: Joe Commisso - 1,961,000
Seat 4: Richard Lyndaker - 2,345,000
Seat 5: Tom Lutz - 1,493,000
Seat 6: Edward Ochana - 928,000
Again we saw some serious action right from the start, the first 28 hands were enough to lose 3 out of 6 players! At that rate it could have been one of the fastest final tables ever at the WSOP, but things changed when they got heads-up after Edward Ochana had been knocked out by Richard Lyndaker, who had rivered a straight. From that moment on, it seemed to be small pots all around, with the occasional all-in. The players actually broke the record of the longest heads-up battle on the 2008 WSOP: 209 hands (from 6 to 2 took 69 hands). It seemed like it wasnt meant to end: 13 all-in situations meant that 12 of them, the shortstack won the hand. On the 13th, we finally saw who wins this event: Richard Lyndaker is all-in with   against Joe Comisso's   . A  comes on the flop and no help for Lyndaker, which means Joe Comisso wins his first bracelet and the biggest cash in this WSOP so far: $911,855 .
1. Joe Commisso $911,855
2. Richard Lyndaker $570,551
3. Edward Ochana $368,891
4. Sam Trickett $245,927
5. Tom Lutz $174,041
6. Davidi Kitai $120,693
