888poker WSOP Documentary Episode 6: One More Day

The final episode of the 888poker WSOP documentary has been released, with Aaron Barone reflecting on his 65th place finish in the 2026 WSOP Main Event, winning $125,000 chips, and looking ahead to 2027. The sixth and final episode of the 888poker WSOP documentary is now available; here's a recap of the episode, "The Deepest WSOP Main Event Journey of My Life." At the end of episode five, Aaron Barone was the only surviving member of the 888poker team. He bagged 785,000 chips at the end of Day 4 of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event, hoping to "climb a few steps" and "maybe make it to Day 6." At the start of Day 5 of the 2026 WSOP Main Event, 533 players returned to their seats, including Barone, whose 785,000 chips placed him in 300th place. Barone, understated yet confident, stated that he felt less pressure than at any other point in the tournament. Could this be a good sign? It seemed so. Barone accumulated 1,300,000 chips in his final hand before the dinner break. At the 2025 WSOP, he had been eliminated at this level with a bluff-catching hand; this time, he called an all-in with seven-high flush on a four-suited board, and it paid off. The good luck continued. Barone's AQ went all-in pre-flop against pocket Jacks, hitting two pair on the flop and pushing his stack to 2,600,000 chips. Although he gave back some chips before the end of the tournament, Barone still advanced to Day 6 with 1,880,000 chips, or 24 big blinds. “I did reach around 2.9 million chips, but chips come and go quickly. 1.9 million is more than enough for tomorrow; it’s incredible. I had a lot of fun and have almost certainly made it my biggest and deepest finish at the WSOP, and now we’re trying to push that level again tomorrow.” Early Day 6, Lady Luck smiled on Barone. He went all-in with AK against his opponent’s pocket Jacks. The flop gave him trips of Aces, but also allowed his opponent to make a full house. The turn and river were both 5s, giving Barone an even bigger full house and winning the pot. That hand, along with several other smaller wins, brought Barone to 3,600,000 chips with 114 players remaining. After dinner break, Barone was moved to the live table for some spotlight time. This seat wasn’t easy for the Canadian, as he was sandwiched between legend Shaun Deeb and 2019 WSOP Main Event champion Hossein Ensan, both of whom had more chips than Barone. Unfortunately, Barone's 2026 WSOP Main Event was broadcast on that platform.

On September 11, 2026, the highly anticipated $200,000 Invitational of the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju II officially commenced. This first Triton Invitational held in Asia began with a dramatic moment: Phil Ivey, holding AA in the first level and even the first round, ran into Gytis Lazauninkas' 99 flop, resulting in his elimination from a massive pot of over 445 big blinds. This made Ivey the first player eliminated from this year's Invitational, forcing him to re-enter at the Rebuy counter. Ivey fell into a huge pot in the first round, with AA against 99. In the crucial hand, Gytis Lazauninkas had 295,000 chips and raised to 2,500. Phil Ivey, in the button position, held 212,000 chips and had A♣A♥. Ivey 3-bet to 10,000, and Lazauninkas called. The flop came 4♣ 9♦ 2♥, and Lazauninkas checked. Ivey continued betting to 15,000, and Lazauninkas simply called again. But at this point, he actually had 9♥9♣, a set on the flop. The turn was 3♦, and Lazauninkas suddenly made a huge check-raise. The turn was 3♦, and Lazauninkas checked again. Ivey bets 45,000. This time, Lazauninkas doesn't slow down, immediately raising his bet to 250,000. This size effectively forces Ivey to go all-in. Facing this extremely pressured check-raise, Ivey goes into deep thought. He spends several minutes trying to assess his opponent's possible hand strength, ultimately choosing to call. Hands revealed: Phil Ivey A♣A♥ Gytis Lazauninkas 9♥9♣ At this point, Ivey's pocket aces are behind his opponent's three nines. The river is a 3♣, giving Lazauninkas a full house. Ivey still has a slight chance to turn things around on the river. Any remaining aces could allow him to complete a larger set, and some fives could create a unique board structure, potentially leading to a comeback. But the river card came: 3♣. The final board was: 4♣ 9♦ 2♥ 3♦ 3♣. Lazauninkas' 99 ultimately formed a 9-full house. Ivey's AA couldn't overtake him. This pot was over 445 big blinds. For an Invitational with a buy-in of $200,000, such a deep chip battle so early is particularly noteworthy. Phil Ivey became the first player eliminated as the river card fell, making him the first player eliminated in the entire $200K game.
