Elias Cries Wilf

Darren Elias was all in and at risk against Saar Wilf preflop. Elias' {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} was dominated by Wilf's {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} and both players made a set when the dealer flopped {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Elias couldn't find the case nine on the turn or river and was eliminated. Wilf is off to a fast start and now sits with 128,000 chips.

Straightening Out Negreanu

There was already 17,000 in the pot when we walked up to the table. The board read {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

Daniel Negreanu made it 6,200 before Sara Schussler bumped it up to 12,400.

Negreanu sat there thinking aloud, "I'm just confusing myself. You checked the flop, called the turn, and raised the river."

"Pocket fives would do that, pocket threes - this is weird. I'm going to need a minute," he said taking his time.

"If you don't have fives, I think I win," he said. He threw in the chips making the call and said, "Ok, you got it. You've earned it."

Schussler turned over {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and said, "Straight."

Negreanu is down to 41,000 while Schussler moved up to 107,000.

Cajelais Down Early

Erik Cajelais is off to a sluggish start today.

With the board reading {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} Cajelais checked to Peter Hotaling who moved all in for 58,000. Cajelais tanked for quite some time before releasing.

"Good fold, sir," Hotaling confirmed.

Good fold or not, Cajelais is now down to 88,000 chips.

Robl Slips

There was 10,000 in the pot and the board read {5-Clubs}{A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} when Andrew Robl was faced with an all in bet of 22,000 from Joseph Bartholdi.

Robl called, but mucked when Bartholdi opened {A-Clubs}{2-Spades} for trip aces. Robl is down to 79,000 chips and Bartholdi is now up to 57,000 chips.

Benefield's Jacks Give Him the Double

Timothy Begley raised from middle position before David Benefield made it an additional 5,700 to go. Begley then made it 16,700 and Benefield moved all in for around 99,000 and his tournament life. Begley made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Begley: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Benefield: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The board rolled out {j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} giving Benefield the double up to 200,000, while Begley now sits with 40,000.
