Daniel Negreanu folded his button, and Eugene Katchalov raised from the small blind. In the big, Bryn Kenney three-bet, and Katchalov four-bet all in over the top. Kenney made the call for his tournament life, and the news was not good.
Showdown
Katchalov: 
Kenney: 
There wasn't much for Kenney to sweat on the board that ran out 
, and he has been eliminated. Kenney was short-stacked at one point during the late stages of Day 2, but he mounted a fine comeback, working his stack to a third-place finish. That's good for $643,000, though Kenney looks pretty disappointed by that result.
The match is nearly square as the two men step off the stage for a short break. The table is being prepared for heads-up play, and the stacks set up thusly:

By virtue of his place in this final pairing, Daniel Negreanu has taken over the all-time tournament money lead from Mr. Phil Ivey. That is, of course, pending Ivey's appearance on Poker After Dark that is set to air this week.
With the million dollars that he's already guaranteed, Negreanu's cashes now total $14,116,191 with potential to add another half million to that number with a win.
We think that's a pretty incredible thing for a 36-year-old, so congrats to Negreanu for taking over that top spot!
The two men are back in action for the heads-up finale to this Super High Roller!
