Vladimir Troyanovskiy happened to draw the very same seat again while Daniel Negreanu, Isaac Haxton and Justin Bonomo are also all back.
A clash between two Poker Hall of Famers has sent Daniel Negreanu broke and John Juanda skyrocketing to a spot near the top of the counts.
Negreanu defended his big blind against a Juanda open, then checked an flop. Juanda continued for 9,000, Negreanu popped it to 21,000 and Juanda three-bet shoved.

Then, Mustapha Kanit raised to 9,000 and Daniel Negreanu three-bet all in for 128,500 from two seat over to scoop the pot.
Soon after, Kanit and table neighbor Jason Mercier both invested 26,000 chips preflop to see a flop of . Kanit chedked in the cutoff, Mercier continued for 37,000 and that shut down all further action.

On the flop, Lichtenberger made it 35,000 to go and Raouf shoved for 157,200 to pick up a call and be at risk on his second bullet:
