Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

If there's any consolation for Daniel Negreanu following a brutal day of poker on Wednesday, his Thursday World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP) vlog should certainly be interesting.

Norman Chad, poker's most vocal hater of unlimited rebuys, might want to sit down while he reads the news we're about to report, for safety reasons. Negreanu busted 10 minutes into his first bullet in the $25,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, a $60 million guaranteed no-limit hold'em tournament.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Thomas Santerne was in a heads-up pot against Ren Lin on a board of Q♣5♣4♦2♠K♥.

Lin bet a hefty 485,000 and Santerene gave it some thought before calling. Lin could only show seven-high with 7♣4♣ as Santerne proudly tabled 6♣5♥ for just a pair of fives to win the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sixth time's the charm. Daniel Negreanu found himself all in on his fifth bullet against Alex Anton.

Daniel Negreanu: Q♥6♦ All in
Alex Anton: 5♣5♠

Negreanu's fifth bullet proved no luckier than the previous four as the runout of 5♦3♣3♥2♥7♦ gave Anton a full house to mark Negreanu's elimination.

But for the third time, he was sent back to the same table, which also includes Shaun Deeb to his direct left, to try again.

Alex Anton	2,000,000 947,000	947,000

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Weiran Pu and Thiago Crema had their chips in the middle seated next to one another, with Crema at risk from the hijack.

Thiago Crema: 5♠5♥ All in
Weiran Pu: K♠10♦

Crema remained ahead through the A♣9♠2♦ flop, but Pu caught a pair on the K♥ turn. The 8♠ river changed nothing, as Pu sent Crema to the rail.

"Red dragon power," noted Anatoly Filatov at the table as Pu stacked up his chips.
