Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu raised to 14,000 and Sam Trickett called from the small blind. Fabian Quoss three-bet from the big blind to 50,000 and that put the action back on Negreanu. The Canadian pro four-bet to 115,000 and Trickett folded right away.
"You might not have any fold equity," Negreanu said with a smile as Quoss took his time to make a decision. Eventually Quoss folded and Negrenau took the pot down.
Scott Seiver raised to 14,000 from the button, Tobias Reinkemeier three-bet from the small blind to 40,000 and after that the action was on Timothy Adams in the big blind. Adams put in a cold four-bet to 75,000 and both his opponents folded.
Mike Watson raised under the gun to 13,000 and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier called to his immediate left. The action was folded around the Tony Gregg who moved all in from the big blind for just 46,000. Watson tanked for a bit and then four-bet to 79,000. Mercier did some tanking of his own before five-betting to 152,000. Watson made the call creating a big side pot on the side.
The flop rolled out 
and both players checked while Gregg was awaiting his fate. On the turn the 
hit and Watson check-folded to Mercier's 142,000-chip bet.

Niklas Heinecker found queens and kings already to bust two players and he just found aces to put Faraz Jaka at risk.
The two players took to a 
flop. Jaka called a three-bet pre flop and then led on the flop. Heinecker raised and called when Jaka shoved.
Heinecker:

The board ran out 
to hand Jaka the pot and a big double up.
Niklas Heinecker is having a dream start after he took another short stack out from the feature table.
Mikhail Smirnov was the short stack coming back today and now he has no stack. He was all in for his last 20,000 or so and Heinecker battled with Jason Mercier to see who would isolate him. Heinecker's shove got Mercier off a big ace.
Smirnov: 
Heinecker:

Igor Kurganov told PokerNews that today would last no longer than eight levels after he took less than ten seconds to figure out the maths. He wasn't wrong about his own day as he was the the first player out.
He was all in for less than 90,000 ans found a willing customer in fellow German, Niklas Heinecker.

It'll be strange having a high roller final table without Kurganov.
Patrick Antonius needed a double up he got one on the very first hand.
The Finn opened to 12,000 and then four-bet all in for 86,000 after Justin Bonomo three-bet to 28,000. Call.
