Hand #79: Dmitry Yurasov opened to 260,000 in the hijack and Chance Kornuth defended from the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} and Kornuth check-called a bet of 200,000 from Yurasov. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Kornuth led out for 450,000. Yurasov stuck around to see the {3-Hearts} on the river.

Kornuth used up a time extension before announcing all in. Yurasov quickly called off his stack of 2,130,000 and the cards were tabled. Kornuth tabled {10-Spades}{2-Spades} for a missed straight and flush draw while Yurasov showed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for top set to double up in the very first hand.

Hand #80: Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 250,000 from the hijack and Kornuth shoved all in for 1,840,000 in the small blind. Lichtenberger instantly folded and Kornuth collected the pot.

Hand #81: Kornuth made it 240,000 to go on the button and Yurasov called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Yurasov checked to Kornuth who continued for 220,000. Yurasov called and the {q-Clubs} landed on the turn. Both players checked and the {k-Clubs} completed the board.

Yurasov led out for 350,000 and Kornuth raised to 1,200,000. Yurasov called and Kornuth turned over {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Yurasov held {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for a stronger two pair which left Kornuth on crumbs.

The Final Six Return for Day 4 of Event #5: 50th Annual High Roller - $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em

WSOP Bracelet
WSOP Bracelet

The stage has been set for the final six players in one of the largest buy-in events of the summer in Event #5: 50th Annual High Roller - $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em. They will all gather on the main stage at the feature table today, all with one goal in common - win a 2019 World Series of Poker gold bracelet.

The fans will surely filter around the rail to catch some high-stakes action and cheer for their favorite player. Each of the six players has been here before and knows what it's like to stand on top of the poker world, other than chipleader Ben Heath. The British poker pro is looking to join the rest of his competitors in an elusive quest to capture poker greatness. Heath will hold the chip lead for the second day in a row, currently sitting on 7,630,000 chips.

He is closely followed by four American pros, Sam Soverel (7,540,000), Andrew Lichtenberger (5,615,000), Chance Kornuth (5,000,000), and Nick Petrangelo (4,100,000). Rounding out the field of six is an online sensation from Russia, Dmitry Yurasov (3,660,000), who still has plenty of chips to work with and more than enough game to finish on top.

Once the field narrowed down to just six players, they each locked up a payday of at least $251,128. That will be awarded to the first player eliminated today, enough to get their 2019 summer heading in the right direction. However, along with the coveted piece of jewelry up for grabs, the winner will be taking home $1,484,085 and become the first millionaire of this year's WSOP.

There will still be 55:30 remaining in Level 20 with the blinds at 60,000/120,000 and a 120,000 big blind ante. They will still be 60-minute levels with a 15-minute break after every two levels. The action is expected to get underway at 12 p.m. local time and the stream will take place on PokerGO starting at 1 p.m. You can still follow all of the action here on PokerNews as we will bring you coverage of every hand until a winner is crowned.
