With the board reading 
, Daniel Negreanu found himself all in with 
, but behind against Joe Hachem's 
for the flopped set.
As Negreanu fist-pounded his foe, the dealer dealt out the 
turn. "Ha ha," gleamed Negreanu as the potential of a split pot emerged.
But, alas, the river bricked out with the 
, and Negreanu was out in sixth.
It wasn't quite big enough to call it a true battle, but at least we got to a flop.
Joe Hachem raised to 12,000 from the small blind, and Johnny Chan called from the big. Hachem fired 20,000 at the 
flop, and Chan gave it some thought before conceding defeat.
On a 
flop, Joe Hachem bet 18,000, only for Huck Seed to raise to 71,000. After a long dwell, Hachem laid it down.
On the last hand before dinner, Barry Greenstein raised to 10,000, and Huck Seed called to see a 
flop. Greenstein bet 14,000, and Seed bumped it up 34,000. Greenstein quickly three-bet shoved for a total of 77,000, and Seed snap-called.

The players had been debating how long to take for dinner, and Barry wanted to start the biding at half an hour. Instead, they went with 75 minutes, so perhaps he just didn't want to have to come back. The 
on the turn meant Greenstein was one card away from that result. But Barry had played the river rat once before today, and sometimes, it's just your day. He spiked the on the end to make trip sixes and double through Seed. Greenstein heads to dinner with 182,500, leaving Seed with 91,500.
Players are now on the scheduled dinner break and will return at 20.50.

Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 500
Level 15 has started with little in the way of excitement, mainly blind-stealing and the occasional flop.
Barry Greenstein raised on the button to 15,000, and for the second time in 15 minutes, Huck Seed three-bet from the small blind. Also for the second time, Greenstein gave it up.
Johnny Chan raised to 15,000 from the button, only for Huck Seed to move all in from the big blind. Chan released his hand.
