Hall, winner of the PokerStars PCA tournament, is poised to take down his second win of over $1.5 million in the first five months of 2011 after having had a low profile previously. Seiver is no stranger to high buy-in tournaments, but this would double his biggest score ever if he succeeds.
David Peters went out on the TV bubble in seventh, settling for $172,559. Earlier Sam El Sayed went out in 8th place ending his hopes for the WPT Player of the Year award that went to Andy Frankenburger.
Also busting on Day 6 was last year's champion David Williams, Daniel Alaei, Shannon Shorr, Nenad Medic and Ashton "the ASHMAN103" Griffin.
