David Salituro

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jacob Thibodeau moved all in for 600,000 from early position, Brian Feck reshoved in middle position, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Jacob Thibodeau: A♣K♦ All in
Brian Feck: Q♦Q♠

Thibodeau took the lead on the K♣6♥5♠ flop with top pair, and he held on through the 4♠ turn and 8♠ river to secure the double-up.

At another table, Ali Ayub was all-in for 450,000 from middle position as Wesley Fei put him at risk in the cutoff.

Ali Ayub: K♥Q♦ All in
Wesley Fei: A♣4♦

The flop came J♠3♥5♥, while the 2♣ turn gave Fei a straight and left Ayub drawing dead. The river was the 8♦, and Ayub was sent to the rail.

"You should change your name to 'Wesley the Nuts'," Zhao Liu said to Fei.

"I told you, I only play the nuts. I played with him on the first day of the $5K. Nice guy," Fei replied after Ayub left the table.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dan Stavila made it 160,000 to go from middle position, and Lucas Jumalon called from the big blind.

Jumalon checked for a final time on the 3♦ river, and Stavila fired 760,000. Jumalon took his time before settling on a call.

Stavila confidently tabled A♦K♣ for top two pair, but it was second best to Jumalon's 10♠10♥ for a flopped set of tens.

25 Minutes Late to Day 6? Blame the Avocado Toast

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Connor Richards

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Will Givens was 25 minutes late to the start of Day 6 today, but it wasn't due to an alarm clock malfunction or medical emergency. Rather, Givens told PokerNews that the universe told him to take things slow today, "So that's what I did."

“I was at the gym, and I went harder, meditated longer," Givens said during the first break. "I had the chips to do it. I just go with the energy. The energy said just relax. So that’s what I did. Got me some avocado toast and eggs."

Givens changed more than his breakfast order in preparation for the big Day 6. "Took a longer walk. Took a different way. Went outside, got some sun. I really was just in my own world. And now I got here.”

In the end, it may not have mattered much that Givens missed 20 percent of Level 25.

“I was card dead. So I think when I was gone, I was probably dead then too! The cards were just not following me this morning.”
