Bonomo Takes Four-Bet Pot from O'Donnell
Level 6
: 250/500, 0 ante
In one of the last hands at Level 6, Justin Bonomo, on the button, called what appeared to be a four-bet to 8,500 from Matt O'Donnell in the cutoff. O'Donnell bet 9,000 on the 
flop, and Bonomo opted to continue. On the 
turn, O'Donnell checked and Bonomo decided on a small bet, another 9,000. O'Donnell considered for a bit before ultimately folding.

Negreanu Joins The Fun
Level 6
: 250/500, 0 ante
As expected, six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu has hopped in the field here just minutes after busting out of the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. across the hall.
Already this year, Negreanu has posted three deep runs in three $10,000 Championship level events, including finishing 18th in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E., 10th in the $10,000 Seven Card Razz and second in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball.
Expect the voice of "Kid Poker" to be heard as things continue here.

Double Your Pleasure
Level 6
: 250/500, 0 ante
David "Devilfish" Ulliott had just managed to double up close to 50,000, getting paid with 
when Mike Matusow screamed out a few tables over.
"Yes," he exclaimed, as several players jokingly called for a penalty, referencing the excessive celebration penalty Matusow recieved in the O8-Stud8 event the other day.
Apparently Matusow could care less about getting a penalty today.
"I could go to bed right now and wake up still at the top of the chip counts," he said.

The Cash Machine
Level 6
: 250/500, 0 ante
As John Juanda sat down on Humberto Brenes' table a discussion of the Costa Rican Shark's amazing start to the 2014 WSOP ensued.
Brenes already has six cashes in the first 12 events he's played and with dozens more still on the schedule, he his primed for a run at the record for most cashes in a single WSOP.
Konstantin Puchkov holds the record with 12 cashes recorded back in 2012.
But already half way there and with 78 cashes lifetime, including two bracelet wins and $2,293,719 in earnings, Humberto might be a favorite to get it done.
