Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Daniel Negreanu (pictured during yesterday's Day 1a) made it 15,000 from the button and his opponent Connor Drinan moved all-in for around 97,000 from the big blind. Negreanu made a very quick call and was a little behind.

The flop of 
set Drinan behind, and he stayed there through the 
turn and 
river.
"I'll try again." he declared upon busting. Players only have one more level to re-enter or register in the first place, so we expect a busy next 30 minutes.
