Martins Adeniya has been done in by his own countryman; Sam Trckett.
Adeniya opened to 60,000 with the button and Trickett defended his big blind. The flop fell and Trickett checked to Adeniya who continued for 75,000. Tricket check-raised to 400,000 effectively putting Adeniya all in, and Adeniya indeed committed himself raising to just 25,000 more. Trickett of course called.

Trickett was already well ahead, and the on the turn was all she wrote. The on the river was simply protocol and Adeniya shook some hands before exiting the tournament area.
With just two tables we are now re-drawing and will have the table positions and chip counts shortly!
Daniel Negreanu opened for 54,000 and Mikael Thuritz three-bet to 140,000 from the button. Negreanu made the call and they saw a flop. Negreanu checked, Thuritz bet 125,000, Negreanu shoved and Thuritz called all-in for about 550,000.

The turn was the , the river was the and Thuritz doubled to 1.3 million. Negreanu was left with 425,000.
Isaac Haxton opened for 55,000 from the button and Sam Trickett called from the small blind. Abe Mosseri raised to 155,000 from the big blind. Both Haxton and Trickett called.
The flop came down . Trickett checked, Mosseri bet 200,000, Haxton folded and Trickett moved all-in for 825,000. Mosseri tanked for several minutes before folding.
"I had two sevens. He could have had two nines," Mosseri said. He's down to 920,000 while Trickett is up to 1.5 million.
The always-outspoken Daniel Negreanu wandered over to our table between hands and commented about how disappointed he was in the structure of this event. And while a pro voicing displeasure with a tournament structure is certainly nothing new, Negreanu may have a point here.
At the moment, the average stack is about 1 million in chips, which amounts to a little over 40 big blinds. It goes a long way toward explaining why a lot of the hands we've reported thus far are pre-flop three-bet shoves and all-ins on the flop. There simply isn't a ton of room for play right now.
Billy Jordanou opened to 55,000 from the cutoff before Dan "djk123" Kelly three-bet to 155,000 from the small blind. Jordanou moved all in for just 145,000 more and Kelly made the call.

Kelly:
The flop was disastrous for Jordanou, and he shot up out of his chair in disgust. He put one arm in his jacket as the fell on the turn and it was fully on as soon as the rivered. Jordanou quickly exited shaking his head in disappointment.
With the knockout, Kelly is now up to 1,300,000 chips.
In less than one level, Dan Kelly has gone from 260,000 chips to nearly a million.
Brian Hodhod opened for 54,000 from the cutoff and Dan Kelly moved all-in for 456,000 from the big blind. Hodhod made the call.
Kelly
Hodhod
Kelly was looking good on the flop, but the hit the turn, giving Hodhod command of the hand. However, Kelly hit the on the river to make a set and instead of hitting the rail, he doubled his stack to 930,000.
The action folded around to Martins Adeniya on the button. He raised to 58,000 and Heather Sue Mercer moved all-in from the small blind for 221,000. Isaac Haxton reshoved from the big blind and Adeniya folded.
Mercer
Haxton
Mercer's hand was dominated, and she did not improve on the board. She hit the rail in 15th place, collecting her largest-ever career tournament cash while Haxton moved up to 1.24 million in chips.
