Negreanu Doubles Through Sylvia

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

From the button, Jesse Sylvia raised to 900. Daniel Negreanu, winner of last year's World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific Main event, called from the big blind, and the flop came down {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Negreanu checked, and Sylvia bet 700. Negreanu check-raised all in for 4,050, and Sylvia tank-called with the {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Negreanu had the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, and the river was the {5-Diamonds} to keep Negreanu in the lead and give the six-time WSOP gold bracelet winner the double up. Sylvia was left with approximately 15,000 in chips.

Rossiter Enters the Field & Promptly Doubles

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jeff Rossiter, who is fresh off a fifth-place finish in Event #5: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha earlier today, joined the field after the dinner break. Rossiter, with drink in hand, is seated at the same table as Jonathan Duhamel, who happened to finish third in the aforementioned tournament. Along with Van Marcus, the three seem to be enjoying themselves.

In a recent hand, Rossiter got his stack of 5,400 all in preflop holding the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and was in a dominant spot against an opponent's {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The board ran out a clean {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, and Rossiter was shipped the double.

Shack-Harris Loses Race

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris opened to 800 and the player on his immediate left three-bet to 2,300. The action folded back to Shack-Harris and he four-bet to 6,800 before his opponent moved all in for 16,325. Shack-Harris deliberated for a few moments before eventually making the call.

Shack-Harris: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Shack-Harris doubled his opponent up while slipping to 14,500 in chips.

Shack-Harris Squeezes Out the Juicy

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Juicy Li
Juicy Li

Brandon Shack-Harris opened for 900 under the gun only to have a short-stacked Juicy Li three-bet all in for 3,225 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Shack-Harris, and he thought for a few moments before making the call.

Shack-Harris: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Li: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Li was behind, but she was drawing to two live cards. She managed to pair one on the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, but it did her little good as Shack-Harris also paired his ace. Neither the {2-Hearts} turn nor {4-Diamonds} river helped Li, and her Event #7: $2,200 Six-Max No-Limit Hold'em experience at the 2014 WSOP APAC came to an end.

Back on July 14, the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event final table was set. The players in this year's "November Nine" are set to resume play on November 10, and it is a globally diverse group of young players who will be battling it out for the $10 million top prize.

Martin Jacobson will certainly be a favorite amongst poker pro circles around the world. The Swede has plenty of respect and a hard-earned reputation as one of the best and consistent tournament players in the game. When the lights turn on in November, it'll true be his time to shine and put his experience to work.

After finishing with the Day 1a chip lead, Jacobson will enter the final table eighth in chips with 14.9 million, second to last, and knows how much this final table means to him. "It feels incredible to make it this far in such a big and prestigious tournament," Jacobson told PokerNews. "This is probably my biggest achievement so far."

Easy Come, Easy Go for Rossiter

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jeff Rossiter late registered this tournament, and despite scoring an early double he has already been eliminated from the tournament.

"He was in a gambling mood," 2010 World Series Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel said of Rossiter, who had been enjoying some adult beverages. We missed the Aussie's final hand, but Duhamel said Rossiter had called a three-bet with {k-}{10-} offsuit. The flop came down {10-}{7-}{7-}, and Rossiter got his stack in against an opponent holding {q-}{q-}. A third ten was not to be found, and Rossiter disappeared just as quickly as he came.

Negreanu is Not the King of this Ward

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

We missed the elimination of reigning WSOP APAC Main Event champ Daniel Negreanu, but Jesse Sylvia was kind enough to fill us in on the details.

According to him, Phil Ward opened with a raise and Sylvia called from the button. A short-stacked Negreanu called from the big blind, and three players saw a {2-}{2-}{6-} rainbow flop. Negreanu checked, Ward bet 1,200, and Sylvia called. Negreanu then check-raised all in for roughly 3,000 more, Ward called, and Sylvia got out of the way.

Negreanu: {6-}{10-}
Ward: {j-}{j-}

Negreanu had flopped two pair, but it was no good as Ward held jacks and deuces. Neither the turn nor river help Negreanu, and he was eliminated from the tournament here in Level 7.
