We saw that Barry Greenstein was missing from his table and it appeared he had been eliminated. We checked with Joseph Cheong, and he informed us that Greenstein shoved on the button and he had called with . A king-high flop sealed the deal and Cheong dispatched Greenstein here in the first level of Day 3.
A quick check of Greenstein's twitter verifies the series of events.

We caught up with the action on a flop, where Daniel Negreanu was in a pot against two other players.
Negreanu fired 8,200 from early position and was called by the player directly behind him and Chris Moore in middle position.
The turn brought the and it was checked to Moore, who fired 18,000 into the middle. Negreanu flatted, as did the player behind him.
It was checked to Moore again on the river and he fired 50,000 into the middle - sending a wave of disgust through Negreanu.
Negreanu sighed deeply and shook his head - clearly distraught about his decision. After a little thought, Negreanu folded his hand. Moore's remaining opponent also folded after tanking for a bit.
The camera crew for ESPN then asked Negreanu, who was recently moved to an outer table, to pull his hand back to show the camera to be used for Main Event footage. (Hands captured on outer tables use a small, portable camera to capture hole-card footage.)
"It's f***ing aces," Negreanu said. "I don't want to waste time with the T.V. stuff - just show my hand."
Negreanu's already-mucked hand was then revealed to be, in fact, pocket aces.
RealKidPoker Daniel Negreanu @DNChips AA cracked again flop T62 turn K J folded to river bet vs obv set. Ugh.

As we were writing the previous Daniel Negreanu hand, apparently Negreanu lost even more chips.
According to his Twitter feed, Negreanu tangled with Chris Moore again and was bested after Moore made a straight against Negreanu's top two pair.

Just 15 minutes ago we brought you the action from a hand that saw Sean Rice cripple Eugene Katchalov. We just noticed that Katchalov's seat was empty and that Rice had even more chips. We took to twitter to investigate and found that Katchalov had tweeted about the hand where he was crippled and then tweeted the following.
