Things escalated pretty quickly on the turn of a {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} board between Cary Katz and Daniel Negreanu. It is unclear how the betting went on the turn but Katz ended up all-in and at risk and Negreanu was ready to gamble.

Cary Katz: {4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}
Daniel Negreanu: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Katz was ahead with a straight but Negreanu wasn't far behind with a set of sixes. The {k-Clubs} was a brick on the river and Katz scored the huge double to take the chip lead.

Katz Stacks an Opponent

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

All the money went in on the flop after a {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board ran out. Cary Katz had his head-up opponent all-in and at risk with the best of it.

Cary Katz: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}

Katz had flopped a full house but did need to fade some outs. The {2-Spades} on the turn was a safe card and the {4-Clubs} on the river was event better, giving Katz quads to take down the pot.

Sklar Doubles Up

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

On the flop of a {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board with about 20,000 in the middle, Richard Sklar bet 12,000 and called a check-raise by his heads-up opponent to 32,000.

The {6-Clubs} hit on the turn and Sklar's opponent slid out a bet covering Sklar's remaining stack and he made the call putting his tourney life on the line.

Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Sklar: {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}

Sklar was ahead with his straight and was able to fade the board pairing on the river to earn the double up.

Negreanu Has Heaps

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu has stacked yet another opponent to increase his already sizeable lead on the field. When we reached the table the dust had already settled and Negreanu was being pushed a pile of chips.

In the middle of the table lay a {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board. Negreanu had tabled the {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} making a straight and besting his opponent's {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.
