This week's two episodes of the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event on ESPN earned higher ratings than the week before. The stakes increased as well as the action picked up with the start of Day 6 when just 80 players remained from the 6,737-player starting field, continuing until they were down to just 51.
Along the way several November Niners were shown in action, including Kenny Hallaert, Jerry Wong, Griffin Benger, Cliff Josephy, Michael Ruane, Qui Nguyen, and Frederick Pons.
