After just doubling up a couple hands before Negreanu tried to do it again. We found him moving all in for 10,800 from under the gun and received a call from Athanasios Polychronopoulos in the small blind.
Negreanu:
Polychronopoulos:
A flop put Negreanu in a deep hole, he was going to need some major help from the turn and the river if he wanted to continue his run in this tournament. A turn sealed the deal and Negreanu was eliminated as a meaningless rolled off the deck for the river.
Negreanu is now off to compete at the final table of Event 5. Negreanu is 6th in chips and is in prime position to win another bracelet.
We managed to catch up to Joseph Cheong's table to find him all in for his tournament life. We don't know exactly how the action went, but Jordan Smith was the one willing to deliver the knock out blow. Cards were then tabled.
Cheong:
Smith:
A flop brought no hope to Smith, as he found himself trailing even further. A turn and a river sealed the deal, and Cheong doubled up putting him self at almost 50,000.
This recent hand started out with Athanasios Polychronopoulos making it 2,200 from the hijack position and Daniel Negreanu moving all in for 4,500. Polychronopoulos completed the call and cards were tabled.

Polychronopoulos:
With a board being spread on the felt, Negreanu's pair of aces were good enough for a double up. Negreanu who managed to final table the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em yesterday, has until 2:00 to build a stack worthy of making day 3. Negreanu is still pretty low and is going to need to work his magic if he plans on making it deep in this tournament.
Play has started here in the Amazon room with everyone pursuing that dream of winning a bracelet. Eugene Katchalov who's no stranger to pressure showed no sign of slowing down and we found him playing one of the first hands of the day.
We don't know exactly what the action was preflop, but Katchalov was heads up with Ryan Leng. From the size of the pot we know there was a raise and a call preflop, but we don't know for sure who did what. With a flop Katchalov checked in the cut off, and his opponent on the button fired off 5,200. Katchlov fairly quickly made the call and both players got to see a turn.
With a landing on fourth street Katchalov again checked. Leng continued his aggression with a 8,500 bet which was again quickly called by Katchalov.
A river slowed down the action as both players opted to check. Katchalov then flipped over for a set of nines, which was seemingly good enough to take the pot seeing as his opponent threw his cards in the muck.
Welcome to Day 2 coverage of Event 6, the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Mixed-Max. A field of 409 came to play and following 10 levels on Day 1, 112 players bagged up chips to ensure their return on Day 2. Per the unique structure of this event, Day 2 action will be six-handed. The top 44 players will make the money and play is scheduled to commence until 32 players remain. From there, Days 3 and 4 will consist of heads-up matches until one player is left standing to capture the coveted WSOP bracelet.
Joe Tehan had an outstanding Day 1 and leads the way with 219,000 - the only player to cross the 200,000 chip mark. No stranger to tournament success, Tehan has 22 career WSOP cashes including two final tables. The highlight of his poker career came back in 2006 when he won the WPT Mandalay Bay Poker Championchip for $1,033,440. He will surely be looking to add a WSOP bracelet to his résumé this summer and with a cash in Event 4 earlier in the week, he is off to good start.
