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

[user22113]

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.

On a board of {5-Spades}

Brandon Schaefer checks to his opponent, who bets out 7500. Brandon thinks for awhile and folds, and his opponent shows 4c5c and takes down a hefty pot. Brandon still has plenty of chips to play with though, and sits on 18,000.
