Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tournament officials had paused the clock and were preparing to go hand-for-hand, but before that could take place, three players were eliminated from contention to burst the bubble.

The unfortunate three players to bow out just before making the money were Zachary Donovan, Francisco Zufiatamayo, and Patrick Truong as the rest of the field is now in the money on Day 2 of Event #89: $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship.

A minimum cash is worth $6,001.

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.
