Jeremy Ausmus raised to 6,000 on the button and Andrew Lichtenberger called in the big blind.
Lichtenberger checked on the flop of 3♥A♠4♠ and Ausmus called. Both players then checked on the 5♦ turn.
Lichtenberger led out for 9,000 on the Q♣ river and Ausmus folded. At the same table, Keith Lehr playfully razzed Nicholas Palma, who was unfazed by the Event #9 champion's banter.
"Life could be worse," shrugged Palma. "I've got a million bucks ... I'm just printing."
A few minutes later and Palma was still going at it.
"I needed a reason to be fired up."
Brandon Wilson was seen leaving his seat at the hands of Sean Perry, who was anything but gracious after busting the high-stakes pro.
"I've gotten it in with the worst hand three times!" Perry cheered.
Daniel Negreanu has joined the field after a round of 18 holes on the golf course and wasted no time playing a pot, betting 8,000 out of the rack right as he sat down to win the blinds.
As he sat down, Negreanu told table mate Nicholas Palma that he was "the Mike Matusow of your generation."
"Minus the no money part and sucking for 20 years," said Palma.
"He had money at your age, too," Negreanu replied, but Palma wasn't having it.
"I protect my money."
Joao Simao was all in for 85,000 against David Coleman to his right.
Joao Simao: A♠A♣ 
David Coleman: J♥10♥
Coleman couldn't crack aces as the board ran out a safe 2♠8♣5♠10♠4♦ to earn Simao a double.
Level: 5
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
