Daniel Negreanu - chasing his 5th bracelet tomorrow

That brings an end to a long day in which our field of 98 hopefuls were reduced to our final 11. It was a roller coaster ride today through times of hyper-aggression once the money bubble burst, to the tight play late in the evening once the players caught a sniff of a final table berth. One man who took superb advantage of this was PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu, who pounded relentlessly on his opponents and personally eliminated many of them to accumulate a massive chip lead. With thoughts of last year's Limit Holdem bracelet win in his mind, Negreanu will be focused and very hard to stop.

However, it was Tommi Horkko who made a surge late in the day to claim the unofficial overnight chip lead. The likes of Shawn Buchanan, Barry Shulman and the elusive Russian Nikolay Losev will also be lurking in the wings.

Play will recommence at 1pm tomorrow local time as we play down until a champion is crowned! We look forward to your company then!

Franklin Kline Jr Eliminated in 12th Place ($12,197)

[user67765]

Franklin Kline Jr committed his last chips on a flop of {4-Clubs}

and found two very interested customers in Brock Parker and Robert Como, who continued the aggression in the side pot.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}

and the river the {K-Clubs}

and at showdown, Kline found out that his {10-Diamonds}

had been bettered by his opponents who both tabled an identical {A-?}

to chop up the pot.

Kline departs on the tick of 3am in 12th place, collecting $12,197 for a fine tournament.

Kings vs. Aces

donpeters

Shawn Buchanan raised from under the gun and then Nikolay Losev reraised from the cutoff seat. Action folded back around to Buchanan and he made the call. The first three cards were spread {Q-Spades}

. Buchanan check-called a bet from Losev.

The {10-Spades}

fell on the turn and Buchanan checked again. This time, his action was not to check-call, but instead to check-raise. Losev made the call.

The river was the {K-Clubs}

and Buchanan fired out with a bet. Losev made the call. Buchanan showed {K-Diamonds}

for a full house on the river.

Greg "FBT" Mueller let out a cheer for Buchanan, while Losev looked disgusted at the board on the table. Daniel Negreanu turned towards Mueller and said, "I'll bet you anything [Losev] had two kings beats." Just as Negreanu said that, Losev turned over his losing hand, {A-Clubs}

. Indeed, he did have Buchanan crushed until the river, but the kings won this battle.
