Anton Astapau raised to 4,800 and Christoph Vogelsang called, creating heads up action on {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Astapau bet 7,500 and Vogelsang called, after which the turn brought the {2-Spades}.

Astapau bet 21,000 on the turn and Vogelsang called again.

Greenwood Calls the Clock

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Sam Greenwood bet 11,500 on the paired {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts} board with two players to act behind him. Antonio Esfandiari raised to 27,400, Bryn Kenney folded, and then action fell back on Greenwood. After a little bit of time, Greenwood reraised to 80,000, and then it was Esfandiari's turn to go into the tank. Eventually, Greenwood requested a clock on Esfandiari, to which Esfandiari only wasted about 10 seconds before he folded.

Perkins Busts Again

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Bill Perkins
Bill Perkins

After Isaac Haxton check-called a bet on the turn of a board reading {Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} from Bill Perkins, the dealer finished off the board with the {A-Diamonds}. Haxton bet enough to put Perkins all in, and Perkins made the call.

Haxton tabled the {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a turned queen-high straight. Perkins went to muck, but because it was an all-in showdown, his {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} was turned over. With that, he was eliminated for a second time, and Haxton improved to 355,000 in chips.

Esfandiari checked, and Adams bet 20,500. Esfandiari mulled it over long and hard before he tossed in one green T25,000 chips to make the call.

Alvarado & Baron Exit; Negreanu Enters

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Isaac Baron - eliminated
Isaac Baron - eliminated

Isaac Baron busted in unknown action just before the break, and JC Alvarado followed him out the door straight away in Level 5.

It happened when Cary Katz opened for 5,100, Paul Newey called, and Antonio Esfandiari popped it to 17,000. Alvarado moved in for his last 28,000, Katz made it 80,000, and both Newey and Esfandiari got out of the way.

Katz: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Alvarado: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Alvarado was behind and need of a jack, but it didn't come as the board ran out a useless {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Meanwhile, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu jumped into action at the start of Level 5.
