Cary Katz Doubles Through Dan Smith

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Cary Katz moved all in for his last 32,000 from the cutoff and Dan Smith, who is sitting on a mountain of chips, called him from the small blind.

Katz: {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Smith: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

It was a flip, but Katz was in need of improvement. He did just that when the {q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop paired his eight. Neither the {7-Clubs} turn nor {3-Spades} river was the six Smith needed and he sent Katz over a small portion of his stack.

Negreanu Climbing

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 9,000 from under the gun, and both Fedor Holz and Sergio Aido called in the blinds.

The flop landed {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and all three players checked to see the {6-Hearts} land on the turn.

Holz led out for 9,500 and Aido folded as Negreanu called.

The river landed the {5-Hearts} and after a Holz check, Negreanu pushed out a stack of 100,000 to force Holz to a decision for his last 36,500.

Eventually Holz opted for a fold, and Negreanu collected the pot to move to 390,000 in chips.

Poker Masters Champs Collide

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

After being left with 5,000 in chips, Poker Masters Event #1 champ Nick Schulman managed a triple and a double to bring it up to nearly 40,000. Unfortunately for him, that is where his comeback ended.

He got his stack all in preflop holding the {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} only to run it smack dab into the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} of Event #2 champ Steffen Sontheimer.

Schulman was looking for a three, but he was left wanting as the board ran out {5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Schulman was on his second bullet, which means we won't be seeing him anymore here in Event #3.

Winter Eliminated, Schulman Crippled, Sontheimer Surging

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

Steffen Sontheimer

The action folded to Sean Winter on the button, and he moved all in for 39,500. Event #2 Champion Steffen Sontheimer moved all in from the small blind for 117,000, and with the action on Event #1 Champion Nick Schulman, he pushed all in also.

Winter: {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Sontheimer: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Schulman: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The dealer spread a {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts} board to see Sontheimer flop a full house to eliminate Winter, while also doubling through Schulman to leave him with just 5,000 in chips.

Scott Seiver's Failed River Bluff

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

We didn't pick up the action until the river with a board reading {3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. It appeared that Adrian Mateos had checked and Scott Seiver stabbed at it by moving all in for his last 53,000.

Mateos thought for a bit before calling with the {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for nines and fours, which was good as Seiver had been bluffing with the {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Seiver immediately made his way to the desk to re-enter.

Schulman Re-Enters

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Schulman has re-entered today's tournament and is located on table five seated between Steffen Sontheimer and Doug Polk.

From the button, Layne Flack moved all in for 43,000 and Dan Smith called in the small blind.

Flack: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Smith: {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Flack was eliminated from the tournament as Smith surged up to 465,000 in chips.

Stephen Chidwick Doubles Through Layne Flack

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

The preflop action escaped us, but we do know that Stephen Chidwick got his stack of 121,000 all in preflop and was flipping with Layne Flack.

Chidwick: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Flack: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Chidwick got it in good, and he held after the board ran out a clean {q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

Meanwhile, Fedor Holz has jumped back into action.

Sergio Aido Straightens Out Fedor Holz

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 3,000 ante

In the last hand of Level 7, Sergio Aido raised to 7,000 under the gun and Fedor Holz, fresh off finishing runner-up in Event #2, came along from the small blind. Cary Katz did the same from the big blind and three players saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

Two checks saw Aido continue for 8,000 and only Holz called to see the {6-Diamonds} turn, which he checked. Aido bet again, this time 46,000, and Holz called.

When the {10-Spades} completed the board on the river, Holz checked for a third time and Aido moved all in. Holz called off with {a-}{10-} for two pair, but it was no good as Aido had rivered Broadway with his {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.
