Whoa Canada
It was a quick tournament for Canadians Daniel Negreanu and Shawn Buchanan. Both have been sent to the rail during Level 2.
Minieri Scoops a Four-Way All In
Apparently 
is the ultimate action flop. David Singer drove the action and got it all in against two other opponents, and Dario Minieri called all in to make it a four-way showdown.
Singer: 
for top two
Minieri: 
for top two with the nut flush draw (not good news for Singer)
Player 3: 
for useless second nut flush
Player 4: 
for the third best flush draw
The turn brought the 
, and the 
on the river shipped the whole pot to Minieri. He's got all three red chips saved plus 10,500. Singer is down to 4,000 plus two rebuys.
Bjorin and Mercier Can't Make the Call
On a flop of , the player in the small blind and the player in the big blind checked. Chris Bjorin made it 300 from middle position, and Jason Mercier made the call from the button, as did the small blind.
The turn brought the 
and all three players checked.
The river was the 
. The small blind tossed in 1,100. Both Bjorin and Mercier folded.
Grinder on the Upswing
Michael Mizrachi got it all in on an flop with 
for the nut flush draw with a gutshot. His opponent's 
had a lot to fade, but the sweat didn't last long with the 
on the turn filling Mizrachi's Broadway draw. The 
river changed nothing, and the Grinder doubled to 16,000. He's also still got two rebuy chips stored.
Glantz Owns Lellouche
Four players checked through the the turn of a board reading 
. After three more checks, Matt Glantz bet 300 in position. The first two players folded, and Antony Lellouche check-raised to 1,100. Glantz called, and on to the 
river. Lellouche bet out 1,200, and Glantz raised to 2,250. Lellouche looked him up, but said "You're good," the second he saw that Glantz had a king. Matt took it down with , chipping up to 13,300. He's out of red chips however.
E-dog Can't Beat a Boat
Erick Lindgren checked an 
board, and his opponent checked behind. The river looked safe enough, and Lindgren bet 775. The other player made it 2,100 to see a showdown, and Lindgren paid. He would have preferred a refund when he saw his opponent's 
for top boat. E-dog is down to 2,100 and two rebuys.
Thank Goodness For those Rebuy Chips
When we caught up with this table, the player in the cutoff had made it 200 to go and Matt Marafioti in the big blind raised it to 900. The player in the cutoff made the call and they were off to the flop.
Flop: 
Marafioti moved all of his remaining chips in the middle (less the three red rebuy chips) and his opponent made the call.
Marafioti: 
Opponent: 
"You'll probably hit," Marafioti's opponent said, "The way I've been running."
The fell on the turn, and the hit the river, filling Marafioti's opponent's boat.
"I'll take all my rebuy chips," Marafiotti said to the dealer.

Bakes Clubs durrrr
Tom Dwan limped under the gun, and Frank Kassela and another player followed suit from middle position. Another player raised to 175, and David "Bakes" Baker called, as did the other three limpers. The five-handed flop fell . Action checked to Bakes, who bet 450. Then durrrr hit the pot button. Everyone else folded quickly, and Bakes repotted to get it in.
