After Chris Amaral fired bets on fourth and fifth street, Marcel Luske took over on sixth street before the river was checked down. The boards were tabled as follows:
Amaral: (-X-X)
Luske: ()
Amaral showed a pair of nines but it was good as Luske could only muster up a pair of sixes. Our chip leader extends his lead to 73,000.
Bryan Micon was all in on fourth street against David Chiu. Micon's hand ran out against Chiu's -X. Micon couldn't best Chiu's aces and tens and busted from the tournament. Chiu is up to 30,000.

Barry Greenstein just won a big pot from John Juanda and another player where he basically doubled up to 45,000. After the hand, Juanda turned to Daniel Negreanu and told him he just doubled Greenstein up. Negreanu looked over at the table and said, "Oh no, they're chip dumping."
"He played that hand so bad he may have been chip dumping." responded Greenstein.

Daniel Negreanu was overheard chatting with his table about the No Limit Deuce-To-Seven Draw World Championship Event which is set to kick off later this afternoon.
Negreanu said that even though he is "terrible" at the game, he will register as it will most likely be the smallest field of any WSOP event this year, and therefore one of the best chances to win a bracelet. However he'll have to bust from this event first, which at the moment seems to be a long way off as he's well placed with 53,000 chips.
Meanwhile the line is being discussed for how many entrants will enter the event. While one of our switched on reporters locked in a nice side bet on over 55, Negreanu's table thinks the line should be closer to 80.

Billy "The Croc" Argyros
Billy "The Croc" Argyros is one of Australia's greatest tournament performers and best H.O.R.S.E players, having won both of the first two major H.O.R.S.E tournaments in the country.
However his day hasn't gone too well so far today. He just told us that he lost two big pots when favorite to the aggressive Toto Leonidas during Razz which took half his stack. He's down to 13,000 chips and looking forward to a break.
