Ying and Yang

Jerry Yang eliminated.
Jerry Yang eliminated.

Jerry Yang was all in preflop and at risk against Taurean Davis. Yang's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} was dominated by Davis' {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

The board ran {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} and the former Main Event champion hit the rail.

After the knockout Davis is up to 294,000 chips.

Heldar's Day Cut Short

Harvey Mathews made it 7,200 from the button before Jason Helder bumped it up to 19,500. Daniel Negreanu then moved all in for 105,200. Mathews folded and Heldar called off the rest of his stack.

Heldar: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Negreanu: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

It wasn't looking good for Heldar when the flop came down {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. The turn {7-Spades} and river {4-Clubs} were no help either to Heldar either.

Negreanu has moved up to 198,000.

Psychic Negreanu

From the button Daniel Negreanu made it 6,000. Petr Bartagov tanked from the big blind.

"You don't have aces," Negreanu said. "King-five?" he asked.

"Yes," Bartagov said answering Negreanu. "Alright, I can't fold, I call," Bartagov said as he pushed all his chips in the middle and flipped over, yes, you guess it, {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

However, because Bartagov said call, it was only a call regardless of what Bartagov thought he meant.

The flop came down {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

"You can bluff now," Bartagov said as he checked to Negreanu who then moved all in. Bartagov made the call for his tournament life only to see Negreanu table {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The turn brought the {j-Diamonds} and the river the {4-Hearts} and Bartagov was sent to the rail.

Gettin Mizzi Wit It

Na na nananana gettin Mizzi wit it
Na na nananana gettin Mizzi wit it

Sorel Mizzi opened to 5,500 in the cutoff and James Vanneman raised to 11,000 on the button. The blinds released and Mizzi moved all in for 65,100. Vanneman called.

Showdown
Mizzi: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Vanneman: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop was a good sweat, but the turn and river were both jacks doubling Mizzi to 135,000 chips.

Vanneman dropped to 240,000 chips.

Like a Bat Out of Helder

Petr Bartagov opened to 7,000 from under the gun and Jason Helder moved all in for 41,600 on the button. The blinds released and Bartagov went into the tank before finally making the call.

Showdown
Bartagov: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Helder: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Helder doubled to 86,000 chips.

Bartagov is crippled, left with only 13,600 chips.

Jonesin' for Some Chips

Martins Adeniya and David Jones got all the chips in preflop in this hand.

Adeniya: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Jones: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Jones was the player at risk, but the {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop didn't look good for him.

The {8-Spades} fell on the turn and Jones was looking for some help on the river to stay alive.

Bink! Sure enough, he hit his card when the {a-Spades} fell on fifth street.

Jones doubled to 140,000 and Adeniya dropped to 170,000.

Preflop Action

With the blinds and antes raising, there is more and more preflop action occurring.

In one hand Harvey Mathews opened to 7,000 and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 22,000 on the button. Mathews four-bet jammed and Negreanu was forced to fold.

At an adjacent table, Taurean Davis opened to 7,500 from under the gun and Jerry Yang called from the cutoff. Benjamin Maerefat three-bet to 23,000 from the big blind and then Davis four-bet to 57,500. Both Yang and Maerefat folded and Davis took down the pot chipping up to 235,000.

One for Vanneman

There was about 50,000 in the middle when the dealer flopped {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

William Haydon led for 25,000 out of the big blind and his opponent James Vanneman called on the button.

Both players checked the {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Hearts} on the river.

Vanneman opened {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for just a wired pair of eights and Haydon mucked his hand. Vanneman chipped up to 300,000 chips and Haydon slipped to 230,000.
