Igor Kurganov raised it up from the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu was in the big blind. He wasn't sure what to do so he just ripped all in for a little over 200,000. Kurganov made a quick call and Negreanu was at risk.
"Do you have aces?" Negreanu asked.
"No," Kurganov responded as he timidly tabled 
.
"Good, we're chopping then," Negreanu laughed as his 
hit the felt.
Negreanu was unable to catch the ace he was looking for on the 
board and he quickly left the tournament area before the first break. The remaining 27 players are heading on their first 20-minute break of the day.

As the first break of the day approaches, the field is starting to shrink at a rapid pace. There were all-ins at multiple tables including Stephen Chidwick and Christoph Vogelsang. Chidwick opened to 16,000 on the button and Cary Katz shipped all in from the big blind. Chidwick called off his last 197,000 and the cards were on their backs.
Stephen Chidwick: 
Cary Katz: 
The board ran out 
and Chidwick held on for the double up despite Katz picking up tons of outs on the turn.
At the table next door, Vogelsang wasn't as lucky when he got involved in a pot with Henrik Hecklen. We didn't catch Vogelsang's cards before they hit the muck but Hecklen held pocket eights on a nine-high board and sent Vogelsang packing.
