Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 14th Place ($89,100)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu - 14th Place
Daniel Negreanu - 14th Place

Dan Heimiller and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu took a flop of {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Heimiller fired out a bet of 60,000 only to have Negreanu raise the action to 175,000. Heimiller thought for a moment before announcing that he was all in. Negreanu called for his tournament life of about 250,000 more and the cards were tabled.

Negreanu: {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Heimiller: {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Negreanu was out in front with top two pair against Heimiller's open-ended straight draw. The {9-Clubs} hit the turn, bringing Negreanu one step closer to his double up. Unfortunately for KidPoker, the {3-Spades} struck the river to give Heimiller his winning seven-high straight. Negreanu sat staring at the board for a moment before springing out of his seat.

"You always do that to me!" exclaimed Negreanu.

"I was hoping you'd fold," remarked Heimiller as he stacked his chips.

"Yeah, I was going to fold when I raised flop," Negreanu replied with a roll of the eye.

Negreanu made his way to the rail, $89,100 richer. Heimiller, on the other hand, now has about 1.77 million in chips.

Taylor Paur - 15th Place

The board fell down {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, keeping Khoroshenin's tens out in front. Paur hit the rail in 15th place for $89,1000 while Khoroshenin increased his stack to 1.44 million.

Andre Akkari Eliminated in 16th Place ($79,400)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
André Akkari
André Akkari

PokerStars Team Pro Andre Akkari moved all in first to act for slightly more than 100,000 and Piotr Franczak reraised to 220,000. It was folded over to Jean-Pascal Savard who moved all in. The action got back to Franczak who made an immediate call. The cards were turned over:

Akkari: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Franczak: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Savard: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Franczak was in the lead and would maintain that after a flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. The {Q-Hearts} on the turn, however, gave Savard a Broadway straight and a lock on the pot. The river was the {10-Clubs} and Akkari was eliminated in 16th place while Savard scooped a huge pot that brought his stack to 2,225,000. Franczak was left with just 400,000 after the unfortunate turn of events.

Vicente Delgado Eliminated in 19th Place ($69,720)

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Vicente Delgado - 19th place
Vicente Delgado - 19th place

We got to the table with Vicente Delgado mulling over a call that would be for his tournament life. There was approximately 250,000 in the pot and the board was complete and showing {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Oleksii Khoroshenin had moved all in after Delgado checked. Arms crossed, leaning back, Delgado said "aaahhhhh" as he tried to think of whether to fold or call. After several minutes he placed some chips in front of him indicating a call.

Khoroshenin turned over {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Delgado tried to muck his hand. The dealer turned his hand over revealing {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a busted flush draw that paired up jacks on the turn. Delgado was eliminated in 19th place and the tournament is now down to three tables of six players apiece.
