Daniel Negreanu has had an awful time post dinner break. He just lost another pot to drop to 35,000 chips.
We missed the action but the final board read 
and the Canadian was shown 
. Negreanu tried to find the winning formula in his hand but the answers weren't there and he mucked.
That's a lot of names in one title but since they were all involved in three notable pots we decided to go crazy for a change. Can Kim Hua still has a commanding chip lead over his table mates but the few pots we just saw made it clear once again that this game has some massive swings.
On the first hand Bonnie Rossi raised under the gun to 8,000 and Hua called from the small blind. Yakovenko was in the big blind and folded after giving it some thought. The flop came down 
and Hua check-called a 4,000 bet. The turn was the 
and Hua checked again to Rossi who bet 8,000. Hua announced a raise and Rossie called. The river was the 
and Hua threw out 8,000. Rossi had just 3,500 chips left behind if she would call and lose, but she went for it straight away. Hua turned over 
and his wheel scooped the pot. Rossi showed her 
for a set of eights and a low but that wasn't enough to win any chips.
The very next hand Rossi was all in on the big blind and Raymond Bonavida raised to 8,000. Tim Burt three-bet to 12,000 and Bonavida called. The flop came down 
and Bonavida check-called 4,000. The turn was the 
and Bonavida decided to lead for 8,000. Burt seemed frustrated and mucked his 
face up after which Bonavida showed 
for a pair of aces and a low. Rossi showed her 
and was already drawing dead. She had no low possibility and Bonavida's pair of aces couldn't be beat by her hand.
The hand that followed after Rossi left the tournament was crucial for Tim Burt. Burt raised to 8,000, Hua three-bet to 12,000 and a player in the big blind moved all in for 11,000. After Burt had made the call the flop came down 
and Burt check-raised Hua's bet to 8,000 and the call was made. The turn was the and Burt fired out another 8,000, Hua called. The river was the and Burt threw his final 2,500 chips into the pot. Hua stared at the board hoping the river card would change, and double checking his cards also didn't give him a hand worth showing down. Hua mucked his cards and Burt showed 
for the nut straight. The all-in player mucked and left the tournament while Burt is back up to 70,000 chips.
Plenty of action over at table #431 and we don't expect it to cool down as we are heading towards the final table!
San Shak has a six-figure stack after he made a flush on the river. There was action all the way down the 
.
No low got there so Shak's 
was good for the lot. His opponent wasn't happy but his moaning didn't wash with Shak
Level: 18
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 0
He may have set a record-extending 87th cash, but he will not be extending his bracelet wins to 12. Phil Hellmuth is out.
He got the last of his chips in with and found a customer holding 
.
The board ran out 
to hand his opponent the pot. Hellmuth said, "Nice hand" and made his exit.
Can Kim Hua is still one of the biggest stacks in the room after he just doubled up Greg Mascio. We caught the action with the board showing 
and Hua had put out a 8,000 chip bet. Mascio raised it up to 16,000 with just 4,000 behind and Hua called.
The river was the and Hua check-called the last 4,000 to bring us to showdown. Mascio turned over his for the nut low and a flush while Hua flashed his before sending them into the muck. Mascio was up to 72,500 after that hand but in the very next hand he doubled up a short stack costing him 9,500 chips.
Chris Conrad has got his stack going in the right direction after being short before the dinner break.
He raised from early position and was only called by the small blind. Both players checked the flop before the small blind led on the turn when the board read 
. Call.
Both went back to their checking ways on the river.
"I have nothing," said the small blind so Conrad scooped with .
We just saw him getting up from his chair and that made us take a look at Twitter. Todd Brunson has been one of the most outspoken poker players on Twitter and it didn't take long for him to Tweet out his exit hand.
"Fuck,out 61. Had a monster in a 3 way pot. My hand A36Q with nut clubs in big blind. Flop 4610 two clubs. Turn Q. River pairs 4. AAQ9 scoops"
This cash marks Brunson's second of the series after making it all the way to the final table in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud hi/lo tournament earlier in the series. He finished seventh in that tournament for $22,142 and adds another $4,164 to his winnings for the summer today.
"I played it like a wimp," Phil Hellmuth just said after staying alive in a three way showdown. We didn't get any of the action but the hands were spread out as following with on the board.
| Phil Hellmuth |   |
| Opponent 1 | |
| Opponent 2 |  |
Hellmuth had the nut straight and was up against two players with the nut low. The 11 time WSOP champ is still one of the short stacks but chopping this important pot up gave him some breathing room.
