O'Brien Books a Ticket Home

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,000 ante

Jeff Madsen has closed out Dan O'Brien in a quick heads-up match. We missed the hand that sealed his demise, but O'Brien was kind enough to fill us in as he meandered through the room. "Nothing too special," he said. "I had king-ten and he had an ace."

Madsen will advance, and O'Brien is looking to move on as well. "I've gotta book a ticket outta here," he said as he walked toward the double doors.

Three-Way All In

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,000 ante

"Come on, Humberto!" we heard the shout from across the room. It was none other than Humberto himself, and his all in sent us scurrying over to his table. When we arrived, all three players were all in, actually, and it was Shyam Srinivasan with the biggest of the three stacks. The shorty, Andrew Seidman was all in for 11,900 with {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}, Brenes was all in for 34,750 with {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}, and Srinivasan was looking to get lucky with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} for the double knockout.

The board ran out {3-Clubs} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {A-Hearts}, and Seidman finds his wheel to triple up. Brenes has to pay that debt, but he'll double for the 22,850 chips he had left, and that match is now nearly all square three-handed.

Busto or Robusto

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,000 ante

Mohsin Charania has just been defeated by Daniel Coleman.

A few tables over, Marko Neumann has also taken care of Alexander Timman in their heads-up battle. It was a three-bet pot preflop, and Timman shoved after it came {A-Clubs} {10-Spades} {8-Spades}. Neumann called with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, and Timman's {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} was in bad shape to give him a double.

The {Q-Hearts} turn put the possibility of a split pot into play, but the river {2-Hearts} meant Neumann's kicker played. He gets the pot, the bounty, and a ticket to round two.

Also advancing is Ville Wahlbeck who beat his fellow Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari to earn his Day 2 seat.

Negreanu and Koon Eliminated Just Before the Break

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We caught the tail-end of Jason Koon's elimination hand where he held {9-}{9-} on a {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-} board. Unfortunately, Daniel Colman held {Q-}{Q-}. The money went in sometime before the river, so it is no surprise Koon was extremely unhappy with his opponent's rivered set.

Around the same time, Daniel Negreanu moved all in for his last 10,000 or so with {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and was called by the {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} of Amichai Tzvi Barer. "I'm drawing live," Negreanu said as the flop came down {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, giving him the lead with a pair of fives.

"Oh-oh, diamond," Negreanu chirped when the dealer burned and turned the {A-Diamonds}. Sure enough, the river was the {9-Diamonds} and Tzvi Barer hit a flush. Negreanu was sent to the rail with one bounty.
