A pretty entertaining pair of one-hour episodes highlighting Day 6 of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event aired on ESPN on Sunday night starting at 9:00pm Eastern Time. Kyle Keranen was the start-of-coverage chip leader and the action was at the tail end of the sixth day of play.

Speaking of Keranen, Michael Finstein got his money in before the flop against him with tens, but Keranen won a race with A-Q. Then, London’s Iaron Lightbourne bluff-shoved with queen-high, which turned out to be the best hand, against Mark Newhouse to rake a pot worth 2.6 million in chips.

Israeli Gal Erlichmanmoved all-in before the flop with A-J and doubled up through Bryan badbeatninjaDevonshire, whose kings could not hold on. ESPN poker commentator Norman Chad told viewers that Erlichman sky-dives once a week to alleviate stress, saying, “I guess going all-in on Day 6 of the Main Event is the opposite of relieving stress.”

Luis Veladorwon a pot worth 8.5 million in chips courtesy of Keranen after the latter blanked on a flush draw. Then, on a flop of 6-Q-A with two clubs, Aaron Kaiser, who had aces for the nuts, tanked before calling all-in after a bet from Dan KingDan Smith (pictured above), who had jacks. The stall tactic elicited a bundle of “Kentucky justice” references, including Smith saying, “This would be some Kentucky justice if I’ve ever seen it” after the turn was another club, giving Smith a flush draw.

With Kaiser needing to stave off a club on the river, Chad noted that there were “11 outs for Kentucky justice,” which did not come when a red four hit on the river. A tournament official warned Kaiser it was his last stalling stunt.

To start the second 60-minute episode, Erlichman ran kings into aces to bust from the Main Event. Shortly thereafter, Chris Johnson raised all-in on a board of 2-8-5-K-2 with aces and Smith, who had kings for a full house, called all-in and doubled up.

“Kentucky justice” was ultimately delivered after Kaiser bet 450,000 on a board of 6-8-A-J-K with aces. Smith, who had Q-10 and hit runner-runner Broadway, put Kaiser all-in and the latter called, ending his Main Event run. Chad remarked, “Kentucky justice delayed is not Kentucky justice denied.” That would mercifully be the last “Kentucky justice” reference of the episode.

Elsewhere in the rapidly-shrinking Amazon Room field, California’s Peter Placey(pictured) shoved all-in on a flop of A-5-4 with A-Q for top pair and Sweden’s Martin Jacobson called with A-K for a cooler. The better hand held and the American was sent to the rails. Departing shortly thereafter was Johnson, who lost a race against Smith for his remaining chips.

Jorryt Van Hoofmoved all-in in the dark with 8-8 on a flop of 3-9-8 for a set. Scott Mahin called in the dark and the two saw the board run out 2-6, setting Van Hoof up for an epic Main Event run.

The second-to-last hand shown on ESPN’s broadcast was a three-way all-in featuring Dong Guo‘s K-K versus Robert Campbell‘s 8-8 versus Billy Pappas‘ A-A. The latter had both covered and won when the board ran out Q-7-5-2-9. As a result, the field was trimmed to 28.

The final elimination of Day 6 went to Matt Haugen, who ran tens into Devonshire’s queens. There was zero emotion shown from either player during the bust-out, which made for some pretty awkward TV commentary. As a tip, Devonshire told Haugen that his corroded artery “went nuts” when he had a big hand.

You can catch the beginning of Day 7 of the 2014 WSOP Main Event this Sunday at 9:00pm ET on ESPN.
