Day 6 cut the field by nearly two thirds, from 174 down to 62, and a new name pushed to the front. Tyler Gaston, an American chasing his first bracelet, bagged the overnight lead with a towering 21,000,000. He is trailed by Blake Barousse (19,375,000), Zhao Liu (19,047,000), and France's Mario Boos (17,950,000), while 2019 world champion Hossein Ensan (17,775,000) hunts a second title as the last former winner left in the field. The story of the day, though, was Todd Brunson, who bagged 17,000,000 and a shot at history: no son has ever won the Main Event his father won, and Doyle won it twice. One name who will not get there is Wesley Fei, who carried our Day 5 chip lead into Saturday and then hit the rail.
