With blinds at 200/400, a shortstack in middle position raises to 1600, and is reraised to 4000. Weng Wong looks down, finds KK and pushes all-in for 10,400. The shortstack goes all-in for around 4,000, while the initial reraiser asks how much more and calls the extra 6,400. Weng is up against AJ and QQ and takes down a pot of around 26,000.

Yet another internet apology

We were down again but welcome back!

170 players remaining, coming up on a short break and then two more levels until dinner. This is a one day event before tomorrow's $100,000 buy-in NLHE event.

Yes, that is not a misprint, Mr. Negreanu, a $100,000 event. Apparently Daniel thought the $100K was a misprint and came down under a bit lite in the wallet.
