Negreanu Doubles

George Danzer opened to 5,000 from the hijack and Stephen Chidwick made the call before Daniel Negreanu moved all in for his last 29,600.

Danzer passed, but Chidwick made the call as both players drew one.

Chidwick could only squeeze out an {A-} to go along with his {9-}{7-}{4-}{3-} while Negreanu's {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} improved with a {10-}.

Negreanu is now up to 70,000 as Chidwick slips to 155,000 in chips.

Chen Chipping Up, Cassidy Crippled

Yan Chen -- winner of Event No. 14, the $1,500 version of this same 2-7 Draw Lowball event -- is continuing his quest here to score an amazing follow-up.

Just now we saw a hand in which Chen opened for 6,800 from the button, then Eric Cloutier called from the small blind. Joe Cassidy then reraised to 26,000 from the big blind. Chen responded by shoving all in himself over the top, pushing Cloutier out of the hand.

Both players stood pat. Cassidy showed {10-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-}. Chen tabled {9-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{4-} and took the big pot.

Chen moved up to 180,000 on that, while Cassidy was knocked down to his last 4,000. Cassidy was all in the next hand and survived, but still has just 12,000.

Baker Busts Jamshidi

Sirous Jamshidi was all in predraw for his last 36,000 and up against our current chip leader, David Baker. Jamshidi stood pat with his hand, while Baker discarded one.

Jamshidi turned over {10-}{9-}{7-}{4-}{2-}, while Baker barely had him with {10-}{8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}, having drawn the ten. Jamshidi is out in 24th, while Baker increases his chip lead to 295,000.

Houshiar Out

The table folded around to Peter Gould in the small blind who raised, then Homan Houshiar -- chip leader at the beginning of play today -- reraised all in for 33,800. Gould called and took one, while Houshiar stood pat.

Houshiar showed {J-}{9-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Gould tabled his original four cards -- {6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} -- then turned over the new one, the {10-}. Gould took the pot, and Houshiar is out in 23rd. Gould now has 165,000.

One more elimination, and there will be a redraw for the final three seven-handed tables.

Baxter Eliminates Lisandro in 22nd

Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro

Jeff Lisandro had been short-stacked for a while, and was down to his last 5,500 when he put all of his chips in the middle before the draw. Billy Baxter called from the small blind. Both players then took one card.

Baxter tabled {10-}{8-}{6-}{2-}, then turned over his new one -- {7-}.

Lisandro tabled {10-}{8-}{7-}{6-}, then showed his drawn card -- {5-}.

Close, but Baxter's hand was best. Lisandro is out in 22nd, and we'll have a short delay here while they redraw for the final three seven-handed tables.

Remember, the top 14 finishers make the money.

Juanda Draws Perfect

Billy Baxter opened to 6,500 from under the gun and John Juanda made the call from the small blind before Eric Kesselman three-bet to 25,000 from the big.

Baxter folded, but after a minute or two of deliberating, Juanda made the call and drew one as Kesselman stood pat.

After nearly three minutes of adjusting chip stacks and running calculations in his mind, Juanda double-handed two stacks of chips into the pot announcing a bet of 60,000.

Kesselman looked stunned but made the call, only to muck at the sight of Juanda's wheel of {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

"I had an eight perfect" stated Kesselman as he slipped to 150,000 while Juanda climbed to 195,000 in chips.
