Negreanu Doubles Through Aldemir

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brandon Adams limped the cutoff and Koray Aldemir called in the small blind. Daniel Negreanu shoved from the big blind for 53,500, and once Adams folded, Aldemir called.

Aldemir: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Negreanu: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Fortunately for Negreanu, the board ran out nine-high, and he doubled through.

Dyer Four-Bets Lamb

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michael Dyer opened for 5,500 in the cutoff and Maurice Hawkins called. Small blind Ben Lamb made it 26,500. Dyer cut out a four-bet and reraised to 73,500.

"Gonna show another seven?" Lamb asked with a smile before folding, referencing an early hand where Dyer showed a worthless card.

Dyer mucked in silence.

Koon Doubles Through Eibinger

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

On a final board of {3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} with nearly 60,000 in the middle, Jason Koon was all in for 41,000.

His opponent in the hand is Matthias Eibinger, and he uses a time extension chip before making the call.

Koon reveals his {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for kings-up, and Eibinger flashes his {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the same kings-up but an inferior kicker.

Fox Back to Par

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Elio Fox
Elio Fox

Elio Fox was down to crumbles in the early going but he's (barely) past the starting stack now after doubling through Ben Lamb. Lamb opened cutoff, Fox three-bet button and Lamb shoved for Fox's 60,500. Fox called with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and was dominating {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.

"Chop it up," Lamb said after the {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop.

No dice as it ran out {6-Spades}, {8-Spades}.
