Jason Koon opened to 40,000 on the button and Daniel Negreanu shoved the small blind for 410,000. Cary Katz called all in from the big blind for 165,000, and Koon folded.

Negreanu: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Katz: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The dealer spread a {K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop to give Katz a huge lead with his top pair and flush draw.

The {Q-Spades} on the turn would now see Negreanu climb from one out to four, and when the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, he sent Katz to the rail in 8th place for a $50,000 payday.

Adams Gives Then Takes

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Brandon Adams paid off Jared Jaffee on a straight but then got that money back and more in the next pot when Jake Schindler opened for 40,000 and Jason Koon called on the button, with Adams tagging along from the big blind.

On the {9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, action checked to Koon and he bet 40,000. Adams called and Schindler mucked. On the {3-Spades} turn, Koon bet 115,000 and Adams stuck around again. Both checked the {2-Diamonds}, and Adams showed {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to take it down.
