Connor Richards

Level 6 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Earlier in the tournament, Daniel Negreanu bet 21,000 on a flop of 7♦9♥5♠ and got a caller before Isaac Haxton raised to 55,000 in late position. Only Negreanu called.

Negreanu checked on the 10♥ turn and Haxton checked back. Negreanu then moved all in on the 2♣ river and Haxton gave it some thought before folding.

"Maybe I'll talk about that one on the vlog," Negreanu said as he took in the pot. "That was a fun hand."

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Orpaz opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Pedro Padilha called in the cutoff before Kelvin Kerber called on the button.

Orpaz and Padilha checked on the flop of J♠4♠7♣ and Kerber bet 15,000. Orpaz and Padilha both called. The two checked again on the 9♥ turn and Kerber sized up to 45,000. Only Orpaz called.

Orpaz checked once more on the 5♣ river and Kerber bet 110,000 with just a few chips behind. Orpaz raised to put him all in and he quickly called it off.

Orpaz showed a pair of eights with 8♥8♣, but it was no good against the set of his opponent with 4♣4♥ as Kerber earned the double.

Tom Orpaz	550,000 170,000	170,000
Kelvin Kerber	400,000 150,000	150,000
