Four-Bet from Nguyen
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
From the cutoff seat, Rep Porter raised to 7,500. The small blind three-bet to 19,100 and then Anh Van Nguyen four-bet to 45,200. Both Porter and the small blind folded, allowing Nguyen to pick up the pot and move to 160,000 in chips.
Cornell Wins a Monster

Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 6,800 under the gun, and he was called in four places. The dealer ran a flop of 
, and the big blind checked. Negreanu continued out with another 26,000 of his own chips, but that's as much money as he'd put into this pot. The player next door raised all in for 137,200, and next to him, Tyler Cornell flatted with his big stack. That folded the rest of the table, and the cards of the two live players were turned up:
All-in Player: 
Cornell: 
The 
on the turn was a blank, and Cornell was looking for a heart to claim the pot.
River: 
That'll do it. With the big pot being pushed to his corner, Cornell has claimed the knockout to move all the way up to about 410,000.

Negreanu Defends His Button
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Action folded to the player in the hijack and he raised to 7,200. Daniel Negreanu, everyone's favorite little rascal, was in the big blind and made the call. Both players checked the 
and the turn, leading to the 
on the river. The hijack checked, Negreanu bet 12,000, and received a call.
Negreanu turned over 
for a queen-high flush and took down the pot. With that, he is sitting with about 230,000.
Lind Drops a Little
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
A short-stacked player moved all in from middle position for his last 25,400 and action folded all the way to George Lind III in the small blind. He made the call from the small blind and the cards were turned up:
Lind: 
Opponent: 
The 
flop kept Lind in the lead but he was not too happy when the 
peeled off on the turn. The 
river changed nothing and the short-stacked player doubled. Lind took a small hit down to 190,000.
Oh, Canada!
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
It is worth noting that with less than 80 players remaining, four top Canadian Team Pros are still in contention for the Big Event title in Daniel Negreanu, Greg Debora, Anh Van Nguyen, and Pat Pezzin.
Recently, two of the aforementioned players squared off in a big pot. With 110,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Pezzin moved all in from the small blind for about 80,000. His only opponent, Debora, tanked for at least four minutes before sliding in the call.
Debora:
Pezzin: 
Pezzin was in great shape to double if he could just avoid a queen on the river, which is exactly what he did. Pezzin doubled to 270,000 on the hand, but his fellow Canadian dropped to 125,000 in the process.
Ramdin is Rolling
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
When we approached the table, Victor Ramdin and an opponent were locking horns in a big preflop pot. It looks like our villain had opened with a raise from middle position and Ramdin had three-bet from the button. As we joined the action, there was about 50,000 in the pot, the Mr. Villain had four-bet shoved for an additional 130,000 on top. Ramdin was in the tank.
Ramdin started chatting, asking if his opponent really wanted the action. After some time soaking, the calling chips were plunked into the pot, and Mr. Villain half-asked, "I got a pair?" as he showed up his 
. It was no good. Ramdin tabled 
, five cards from claiming another victim.
The board came 
, and that's another big pot to Ramdin's corner. Believe it or not, he's up over the million-chip mark with about 8% of the chips in play.
There are still 70 players left, by the way.
Wheeler Eliminated on Last Hand of the Night
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
We didn't catch all the details, but we saw that Jason Wheeler was sliding his chips to his opponent, who had pocket aces laid out in front of him on a fairly dry board. The pot was worth right around 400,000 and Wheeler, who was clearly disappointed, was eliminated on the last hand of the night.
