Daniel Negreanu raised to 55,000, and Eugene Katchalov (button) and Sandor Demjan (big blind) both called to go off to the community cards.
The dealer spread out , and one bet of 82,000 was good enough to ship the pot to Negreanu.
From the button, Nick Schulman raised to 52,000, and Sandor Demjan reraised him again. The Hungarian made it 166,000 to play, and Schulman did not want to. He mucked, and Demjan flashed as he pulled in the pot.
First to act preflop, Sandor Demjan opened to 62,000, and Eugene Katchalov three-bet to 185,000 from the small blind. Demjan called, and off they went to a heads-up flop. It would be the last of Demjan's day.
The dealer ran out , and Katchalov continued out with 155,000. Demjan promptly moved all in for what looked like 551,000, and Katchalov quickly called with his covering stack. Demjan was at risk, and the news was not good as the cards were turned up:
Katchalov:
Demjan:
Demjan was two cards from the exit, and the turn and river sealed his sixth-place elimination. Demjan is one of the richest men in Hungary, and it's a good thing since he's going home with the last $0 prize and the proverbial wooden spoon. The final five players are now guaranteed at least $200,000, and the action is still coming fast and furious.
In fact, we've just lost another player!
Nick Schulman open-raised under the gun, and Bryn Kenney three-bet from the cutoff seat. In the small blind, Humberto Brenes squeezed all in for an additional 388,000 on top. Schulman folded and Kenney called to put Brenes at risk, and the two men were flipping for the tournament life of the Team PokerStars Pro.
Showdown
Kenney:
Brenes:
Brenes missed everything on the board that ran out . His exit was relatively quiet by Humberto's standards, and he's been whisked away to the payout desk to collect his check for $200,000.
Daniel Negreanu is now the only host-sponsored player left standing.

Eugene Katchalov raised to 70,000 under the gun, and Daniel Negreanu once again defended his big blind. The two men took a heads-up flop of , and Negreanu check-called a 55,000-chip continuation bet.
They checked it down the rest of the way after the turn and river. Katchalov tabled his first, and that was the winner.
Poker commentator and media personality Joe Stapleton has just arrived in the stands, presumably to sweat his buddy Daniel Negreanu.
Kid Poker noticed his new fan in the crowd, and he piped up after that last hand. "Stapes! What's up buddy. If we bust this guy (pointing to Bryn Kenney), we're all doing shots!"
Eugene Katchalov made it 75,000 preflop, and Nick Schulman reraised to 210,000 next door. Katchalov called for a flop, and it came out . Schulman gave up control with a check, and he called a bet of 250,000 from Katchalov. The landed on fourth street, and this time Katchalov fired a healthy bet of 600,000. That was too much for Schulman to call, and he surrendered his hand.
Daniel Negreanu opened to 72,000 from the button, and Nick Schulman came along from the big blind. The two of them check-checked the flop, and Schulman checked again on the turn. He called a bet of 125,000 from Negreanu, then check-called another 325,000 following the river.
Negreanu tabled for the turned set, and it was good. Schulman flashed his before returning them to the muck, and he's given the chip lead back to Negreanu with that pot.
We should note that we're unable to count chips since we have no access to the table, but we're doing the best we can to keep track of them. Our math has Negreanu just over 3 million now, about a half million chips in front of Schulman. We'll get hard counts from the table during the upcoming break.
