After two abbreviated days at the World Series of Poker Main Event, the remaining 185 players took to the felt at the Rio to play deep into the money.By the end of Day 6, the field was reduced to just 64 survivors as some big names fell by the wayside and others surged to the top of the leaderboard. Former world champions Joe Hachem and Peter Eastgate were among the most notable casualties as their impressive runs finally came to an end.
Darvin Moon shot to the top of the leaderboard when he cracked David Benyamine's kings and he never fell far from the top spot, but lurking right behind him at the end of the day were Billy Kopp and the most feared man in poker, Phil Ivey. Ivey finished the day third in chips, while Ludovic Lacay, Antonio Esfandiari, and Jeff Shulman all ended with healthy stacks. Darvin Moon closed out Day 6 with 9,745,000 to take the chip lead, while Billy Kopp finished a strong second with 8,245,000 and the always-dangerous Phil Ivey ended in third chip position with 6,345,000. Other notable survivors from Day 6 included Prahlad Friedman, Blair Rodman, Tom Schneider, and Dennis Phillips, who picked up a big pot late in the day to continue his run at consecutive final tables when he busted Fernando Gordo.
