When we walked up to Table 2, Shawn Buchanan had 55,500 chips out in front of him on a four-bet, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko had five-bet shoved for 130,500 from the small blind. By now, Buchanan was hating life, and he made sure of the amount before making the crying call for nearly all his own chips.
Showdown
Buchanan:
Timoshenko:
Buchanan needed to see a lot of red or a nine in a hurry in order to earn the knockout, but his outs would miss. Timoshenko's overpair held on the board, and he smashes the double to bounce back over his starting stack.

Shortly into Level 7, Terje Augdal busted when he ran into Eugene Katchalov's pocket tens. No help arrived for Augdal, who was left with 24,000 and busted to Scott Seiver the following hand.

Three players (including Kid Poker) checked through a flop, and the turn drew a bet of 12,000 from David Benefield. Only Negreanu had the goods to continue, and his raise to 37,000 forced out the monkey in the middle. Benefield called, though, and the filled out the board.
