Double for Negreanu with Top Set

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Pratyush Buddiga opened to 6,000 from under the gun only to have Daniel Negreanu three-bet next to act to 16,000. Tom Marchese cold-called in the cutoff as the blinds and Buddiga folded.

The flop of {K-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} saw Negreanu continue for 12,000 with Marchese making the call as the {9-Clubs} on the turn saw both players check.

The river landed the {10-Spades} and Negreanu dropped in a bet of 28,000.

Marchese reached fora stack of chips and announced he was all in. Negreanu quickly called for his last 116,000 and tabled his {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for top set while Marchese showed his {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and dropped to 175,000 in chips.

Soverel Doubles Through Negreanu

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sam Soverel got his last 84,000 in preflop with {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and was racing against the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} of Daniel Negreanu. The {6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} flop brought Soverel a flush draw. The {7-Hearts} was a brick, but the {7-Spades} made Soverel a winning flush.

"Never thought I was winning that at any point," Negreanu said as he sent over the required amount.

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Doug Polk has just managed to find a double through Byron Kaverman. All the money entered the pot preflop with Polk at risk for his final 140,500.

Polk: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Kaverman: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Polk doubled through to be nearly back at his starting stack while Kaverman dropped out of the chip lead.

Mandavia Flushed to the Rail

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ankush Mandavia
Ankush Mandavia

With roughly 35,000 in the middle and the board reading {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{A-Spades}{2-Hearts}, Ankush Mandavia moved all in for his last 37,000 and Stefan Schillhabel called.

Mandavia: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Schillhabel: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}

With Mandavia ahead, he would need to fade a spade to stay alive, but unfortunately for him, the {3-Spades} on the river would end his tournament.

Holz and Haxton folded, and Shak scooped the pot.

Seiver Collects With Aces

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Scott Seiver bet 70,000 into a pot that looked to be around 100,000 on the river. He was on the button and the board read {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Jason Koon was thinking things over in middle position, and he let his timer surpass 30 seconds, meaning he had to pay up in the form of a time extension. At about the 40 second mark, he called, and Seiver quickly flipped over {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and collected the pot.

Short Break

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The Super High Roller has been paused for a few moments while a new feature table has been selected that features Nick Petrangelo, Diminik Nitsche, Dan Colman, Ben Lamb, Bill Klein, and Talal Shakerchi.

As for the empty seat six, well that has been occupied by Kevin Hart as his original feature table broke and players took up seats on other tables throughout the room.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and Christner hit the rail when Vogelsang paired.
