Roger Rabbit

Three players saw a {6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop on Table 3 including Daniel Negreanu and Taylor Caby.

Caby led out for 4,800 and Negreanu moved all in. Caby and the other player folded, but Negreanu wanted to rabbit the turn and river.

"I'm going to hit this one!" he exclaimed. "I'm going to hit this one!"

He tabled {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and the dealer quickly dealt the turn ({7-Spades}) and river ({6-Clubs}) and indeed he got there.

It's a shame Negreanu wasn't paid, but he'll still ended the night strong, battling back up to 52,900 chips.

After ten levels on intense short-handed poker, Event #26: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six Handed has come to an end!

1,245 players began the day with some of the world's greatest short-handed players taking to the felt including reigning champion Brock Parker, Matt Hawrilenko, Andrew Lichtenberger, Bertrand Grospellier and a wealth of notables such as Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Phil Hellmuth, JC Tran and many more.

Unfortunately none of these mentioned players would manage to bag and tag their chips as unofficially 156 players survived the day.

Will Haydor is the man everyone is chasing after amassing a 180,400-strong chip lead with Erik Cajelais (163,000), Richard Robinson (152,100) and Al Barbieri (133,000) snapping at his heels.

Andrew Robl (119,400), David Benefield (99,200), Sorel Mizzi (63,900) and Eddy Sabat (50,500) are just a few of the notables still in the field, while the ladies are well represented with Maria Mayrinck (77,200) leading them head-strong into day two along with Annette Obrestad (59,000), Christina Lindley (23,300) and Leo Margets (22,200).

Throw into the mix Jeff Shulman, Jerry Yang, Daniel Negreanu, Chris Ferguson and Amnon Filippi and it is still anyone's tournament with the $630,031 first prize, coveted gold bracelet and title of Champion well and truly still up for grabs!
