The 6-Max Re-entry is now a heads-up battle between Diego Aguilar and Francois Semaan. These two players have sent everyone else from the final table to the rail in quick succession.

Vladimir Avetisian will collected $880 for his fifth place finish. Cole Skye and Tommy Inthouray will collect $1,160 and $1,540, respectively.

There seems to be no stopping Francois Semaan in the 6-Max Re-entry. After dominating the field for most of the day, Semaan just took out two more players in a dramatic three-way all in. Semaan’s improved to take out pocket nines and pocket kings, after the three players were all in preflop.

Ibrahim Ozor was eliminated in sixth, good enough for a $500 payout. Marc-Antoine Plaisance finished in sixth and earned $660.

The frenetic pace of the 6-Max Re-entry shows no signs of slowing down. Players have been busting out one after the other, bringing about the final table after only 16 levels of play. Francois Semaan still controls the largest stack in play, but Cole Skye is quickly closing in on him after eliminating a series of players in the lead up to the final table.

The following table contains the positions and payouts of the players who made the money but fell short of the final table.

The money bubble has just burst on the 6-Max Re-entry. Fittingly enough, the end of hand-for-hand play was brought about by longtime chip leader Francois Semaan. Semaan called Giuseppe Vaccaro’s preflop all in while holding pocket sevens, and he flopped a seven to crack Vaccaro’s pocket aces.

The remaining players are now in the money and everyone is assured of a payout of at least $180.

The field is rapidly approaching the money bubble, and Francois Semaan is still at the top of the leaderboard. The action is keeping up a frantic pace this afternoon, reducing the field to the final three tables faster than anyone expected.

Here are the current chip leaders:

Here is a look at the action from level 14:

Play has just begun in level 11, following the second break of the day. The field now fits on seven tables, as there are only 39 players left from the 117 total entries.

An average stack provides players roughly 30 big blinds, and the top stacks in play have over 50 blinds to play with. Two of the top three stacks at the last break – Diego Aguilar and Natasha Tatta – are still on the leaderboard, but Francois Semaan went on a great run during the last few levels and overtook everyone in the process.

Thanks to the great turnout for the 6-Max Re-entry, the prize pool more than doubled its guarantee. There is $11,349 up for grabs, and the top 15 finishers will reach the money.

Play has just resumed in level 7, meaning that the late registration and re-entry period has closed. The early levels were action-packed and generated 22 re-entries along the way, bringing the total number of chips in play north of 2.3 million.

In an unusual turn of events, the first leaderboard of the day features three players at the same table. The shortest stack among them is playing about 76 big blinds, and the chip leader, Diego Aguilar, has over 94 big blinds at his disposal; the waters are deep on table 31!

New players and re-entries continue are rolling in at a steady pace, and they have already pushed the total number of entries in the 6-Max Re-entry beyond the century mark. This huge turnout has more than doubled the prize pool guarantee. With more about 30 minutes left in the late registration and re-entry period, this event is on pace to create a massive prize pool.

Between the short-handed format and flexible re-entry structure, players have every incentive to open up their ranges and play lots of hands. It seems that most players in the field have embraced these incentives so far, as you will see in the gallery below.

The final event of the September Power Weekend, the $100 + $10 6-Max Re-entry, has begun! This kind of tournament is a player’s favourite because it offers the chance to enjoy spacious seating and wide open ranges while navigating the 6-max re-entry format.

This single-day event guarantees a prize pool of $5,000 and permits unlimited re-entries until the beginning of the seventh level of play at 2:15pm. Players will have starting stacks of 20,000 in chips to play through as many 20-minute levels as needed to determine a winner.

As the timer winds down on the first level of play, there are already 47 players in the field. This event is on pace to easily surpass the prize pool guarantee. It’s going to be an action-packed afternoon, don’t miss out!
