Poker Forum - WSOP Recap: Event #39-Day 6

August 7, 2006—Day 6, Event #39

As we creep closer to the final day, the cream is beginning to rise to the top.

James Routos and John Lee both bid adieu to this year's World Series of Poker.

History was made as the World Series of Poker brought out $100,000 chips. The chips are fittingly green in color.

Allen Cunningham increased his chip count to $3.3 million after revealing a set of threes to beat Erik Friberg.

Ricki Neilson's straight was enough to knockout Humberto Brenes from the tournament. Brenes ends up in 39th spot.

After ending Humberto Brenes' day, Ricki Nelson got the short end of the stick finishing 35th overall.

As the day ended Jamie Gold was once again in top spot.
