Players who will certainly be looking to do that include Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth and Greg Mueller.

Play starts at 2pm.

It's the Sweeney

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Patrick Sweeney has pick up some much-needed chips. He reraised from the big blind to a raise from Takashi Ogura and Ogura called.

Sweeney bet out on the {2-Diamonds}

flop and Ogura called. Sweeney bet again on the {8-Clubs}

turn and this time Ogura passed, leaving himself now a little bit short. Sweeney rallies to 16,000.

Donev Not in the Monette

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ivo Donev attempted to either raise or three-bet on the {K-Clubs}

; the dealer ruled that it was just a call as he'd tossed a single chip in. Either way, he and his opponent John Monette couldn't get their respective chips in fast enough on the {3-Clubs}

turn and Donev ended up all in.

His {A-Clubs}

was behind Monette's {J-Clubs}

, and with no help from the {7-Hearts}

river, Donev is bust.

Happy Hellmuth

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Phil Hellmuth called a MP raise while in the BB to see a {9-Spades}

flop. He then called a continuation bet before they both checked the {Q-Clubs}

turn. Hellmuth then led out on the {5-Clubs}

river and his opponent folded. Hellmuth looked at his cards and threw them in the muck, jokingly berating his own play.

He then grabbed them out of the muck to show {A-Spades}

and then started talking to his opponent about how he could've extracted more chips out of him.
