It finally came time for the table to break and the players were moved to Amazon.

The Brasilia Room is just a few more table breaks away from tumble weed flying past the rail. These are three of the largest stacks in the room with just four tables remaining.

A.J. Jejelowo opened to 9,000 on the button and Derek Gregory three-bet to 26,000 from the big blind. Jejelowo came right back over the top to 66,000, Gregory called, and the flop fell 

.
Both checked to see the
turn where Gregory fired 65,000. A call from Jejelowo landed the
river. Gregory checked it to Jejelowo who promptly slid out about 340,000, putting Gregory to the test for his remaining 180,000-ish.
After about two minutes in the tank, Gregory gave it up.

We saw a swarm of cameras and rail birds surrounding Daniel Negreanu's table, so we went over to check out what was going on. We saw that there was about 65,000 in the middle, and a board that read 



. Negreanu's opponent had bet out 36,000, and Negreanu was in the tank when we arrived.
He started to talk through the hand, and said that quads didn't make sense. He couldn't quite put his opponent on a hand, but he tossed in the call anyways. His opponent showed that he had all of the board, as he tabled 
. Negreanu mucked his hand, dropping him to 84,000.
On the very next hand, Negreanu squeezed by moving all in after an 8,000 raise and a call, but he got no action. That move got him back up to over 100,000.
