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 {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop, and Bonomo opted to continue. On the {6-Hearts} 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
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

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.

We didn't see the action, but Jason Koon just sent his short stack over to fellow shorty Sorel Mizzi on a board of {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}. Koon had {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for a missed straight draw, while Mizzi had a dominated {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} that flopped top pair and held up.

Double Your Pleasure

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow

David "Devilfish" Ulliott had just managed to double up close to 50,000, getting paid with {a-}{a-} 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.

Jaka Dominant

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante

Faraz Jaka just busted an opponent when his {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} held up all in preflop against {a-}{j-}, as the community came {4-}{2-}{6-}{3-}{8-}.

Mercier and Baron Find What They're After

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante

It didn't take long for late registrants Jason Mercier and Isaac Baron to find some action.

Mercier defended his big blind against a Baron open, then check called a 1,500-chip bet on the {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop. The turn came the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked. They also checked the {6-Clubs} river where Mercier showed {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

"I can't beat you at basketball. I can't beat you at poker. I can't beat you anywhere," said Baron, perhaps explaining where these two were during the first few levels of play.

The Cash Machine

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante
Humberto Brenes.
Humberto Brenes.

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.

Ausmus Survives

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante
Blair Hinkle lost a flip to the player on his right.
Blair Hinkle lost a flip to the player on his right.

Jeremy Ausmus and Blair Hinkle got it all in preflop from the blinds with Ausmus at risk for 9,900. Ausmus' {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} turned a pair of queens to ensure his survival against Hinkle's {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.
