By BJ Nemeth
With nine players returning to action on Day 6, Moon Kim (pictured) was the last remaining contender for WPT Player of the Year. Joe Serock had the points lead, but Kim could tie him with a fourth-place finish, and pass him to win the title outright with a third-or-better finish.
You may not know it from their expressions, but Marvin Rettenmaier (center) actually won this pot, and Hafiz Khan (left) lost it. Khan five-bet all in preflop with AK, and Rettenmaier called with JJ. The board came 98736, and the jacks held up for Rettenmaier, eliminating Khan in ninth place.
Trevor Pope (right) was down below 20 big blinds when he three-bet all in with KQ, and Marvin Rettenmaier (foreground, left) called with AJ. The board came K835J, and Pope paired his king on the flop and rivered a spade flush to double up in chips.
Six hands later, Wil Wilkinson (standing, center) moved all in for 13 big blinds with A6, but ran into the QQ of Michael Mizrachi (right). The board came KQ363, and Mizrachi won the pot with an unnecessary full house, queens full of threes. Wilkinson was eliminated in eighth place.
The final seven players, in seat order: (1) Michael Mizrachi, (2) Marvin Rettenmaier, (3) Steve O'Dwyer, (4) Nick Schulman, (5) Moon Kim, (6) Trevor Pope, (7) Philippe Ktorza.
In the final hand of the day, Moon Kim (standing, center left) raised, Michael Mizrachi (foreground, right) called, and Marvin Rettenmaier (foreground left) reraised. Kim quickly moved all in, and Mizrachi tanked for a while before he folded.
Rettenmaier called with 99, and it was a race against Kim's AQ.
The board came J7346, and Rettenmaier won the pot to increase his chip lead, while Moon Kim was the unfortunate seventh-place finisher, bubbling the TV final table.
With Kim's elimination, Joe Serock officially became the WPT Season X Player of the Year.
Philippe Ktorza will begin Saturday's WPT Final Table sixth in chips with 895,000 (15 big blinds).

Steve O'Dwyer will begin Saturday's WPT Final Table third in chips with 2,035,000 (34 big blinds).
WPT Champions Club member Michael Mizrachi already has two WPT titles under his belt, and he will begin Saturday's WPT Final Table second in chips with 2,560,000 (43 big blinds).
Marvin Rettenmaier will begin Saturday's WPT Final Table as the massive chipleader with 6,715,000 (112 big blinds). Rettenmaier has 44% of all the chips in play.

The players have bagged up their chips and now have nearly two days to relax and rest up before the WPT World Championship final table on Saturday.
Marvin Rettenmaier (pictured above) will be sleeping easy tonight and tomorrow, as he holds a gigantic chip lead headed into final table play. Rettenmaier leads the pack with 6,715,000 while his next closest competitor, Michael Mizrachi, has less than half that amount with 2,560,000. Mizachi is still dangerous though and a third WPT title is certainly well within his grasp.
Nick Schulman is looking for his second WPT title on Saturday, while Steve O'Dwyer will making his third WPT final table appearance. Trevor Pope and short stack Philippe Ktorza round out the lineup for the final WPT event of the year.
There will be no action on Friday as the Super High Roller plays down to a winner.
The World Championship final table will get underway at 4pm PT on Saturday. Live streaming of the event, complete with hole cards and commentary from Tony Dunst and Dan O'Brien begins at 4:30pm.

Level 24: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante
Hand #82 - Action folds to Michael Mizrachi (left) on the button and he raises to 115,000. Steve O'Dwyer (right) is in the big blind and moves all-in for 1,160,000. Mizrachi calls immediately with JJ and O'Dwyer shows A8.
The Q97 flop offers little help for O'Dwyer, but the 10 on the turn does give him some additional straight draw outs.
The river A is one of the cards O'Dwyer is looking for as he makes a pair of aces to take the pot and double up.
Steve O'Dwyer - 2,380,000 (48 BBs)
Michael Mizrachi - 2,550,000 (51 BBs)
Level 24: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante
As Hands #76-80 play out, Michael Mizrachi can't help but keep glancing at the $100,000 Super High Roller event, which is about to get underway.
Mizrachi asks the table, "We can still buy in, right?" Tournament Directo Jack McClelland confirms Mizrachi has 15 minutes into the start of play to buy-in. Mizrachi looks back at the field, then asks, "When's the final table?"
"You're a real sick guy," Nick Schulman tells Mizrachi. "I love it."
Mizrachi continues to ask questions about the starting stack and the blinds and seems to be genuinely considering buying into the event and multi-tabling.
Schulman chimes in as the voice of reason and tells Mizrachi, "What if this goes three hours? You'll just blind out."
"I won't let this go three hours," Mizrachi tells him, prompting a lot of laughter from the table.
Level 24: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante
Hand #69 - Wil Wilkinson (standing, center left) moves all-in from middle position for 650,000 and Michael Mizrachi (right) calls from the cutoff. Wilkinson turns over A6 and he will need some help against Mizrachi's QQ.
The KQ3 flop gives Mizrachi middle set and leaves Wilkinson drawing pretty slim. The turn is the 6 and Wilkinson is left drawing dead. The river is an inconsequential 3 and Wilkinson is eliminated.
The players are now one elimination away from the televised final table and the end of Day 6 play.
Michael Mizrachi - 3,630,000 (73 BBs)
Wil Wilkinson - eliminated in 8th place ($82,361)
