Daniel Negreanu Crippled, Eliminated in 10th Place ($36,267)

[user66118]

A few hands ago, Daniel Negreanu got tangled up with Eric Drache in a heads-up battle to seventh street. Daniel called bets all the way, eventually folding with just less than 40,000 left on seventh.

When Tim Phan completed the bring-in, Negreanu got all in for his last 29,000 showing the {7-Hearts}

. His board ran out {7-Hearts}

for a naked pair of tens. Phan had that beat from the get-go, showing up split kings. He would catch a third king on seventh street, plenty good to send Kid Poker to the rail.

With that, Daniel Negreanu becomes our 10th-place finisher. He'll take home $36,267 for falling just short of the final table. After his exit, the remaining nine players have been re-combined into an unusual nine-handed Stud final table.

We'll be on a little pause while the players fill out bio sheets and the chips are transferred over to this secondary featured table area.

Ray Dehkharghani Eliminated in 11th Place ($29,152)

[user75032]

It took six hands to see fourth street on the outer table -- the table with Max Pescatori, Hasan Habib, Ray Dehkharghani, Jeff Lisandro and Ville Wahlbeck. On that sixth hand Ray Dehkharghani was eliminated.

Max Pescatori started things off by completing the {3-Clubs}

. Dehkharghani raised the {5-Hearts}

and it was just those two players to fourth street. Each caught a small suited card -- {6-Clubs}

for Pescatori, {3-Hearts}

for Dehkharghani. Pescatori checked, then raised after Dehkharghani bet. Dehkharghani called.

Each player caught a seeming blank on fifth, {5-Spades}

for Pescatori and {8-Diamonds}

for Dehkharghani. Dehkharghani had first action. He checked and called a bet to pair fives on sixth street. Pescatori drew a third club, the {4-Clubs}

. All the rest of the chips went in there, with Dehkharghani leading out, then re-raising all in after a raise from Pescatori. Pescatori opened {K-Clubs}

for a made flush. Dehkharghani showed {A-Hearts}

for a pair of fives and a flush draw. He needed a heart on the river and didn't get it. He's out.

Dehkharghani will receive $29,152 in prize money.

Shuffle Up and Deal!

[user75032]

Day 3 is underway. Cards are in the air!

Slight Delay

[user75032]

Well, we could tell you that this Day 3 re-start is going to start on time, but given the state of the proceedings that would be akin to telling you that the trains ran on time in Italy during World War II. Instead we'll give you the truth -- we'll probably be a little late. The bags are on the tables but only about half the players are here. It'll maybe be a ten- or fifteen-minute delay.
