Pause

Play has been paused while the tournament staff lets the players take a break to check out the point situation. They're not helping them figure out who needs to finish where, just giving them the current point totals and letting them figure it out for themselves.

"Sixty? Sixty-thousand? Wow, that's really weird," said Negreanu. Then he called and asked for the {7-Hearts}.

The turn was actually the {9-Hearts} and Hellmuth checked. Negreanu bet 100,000 and Hellmiuth called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Hellmuth checked. Negreanu moved all in for put Hellmuth to the test. He folded his hand and Negreanu scooped the pot.
