The flop was {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades} and both Chidwick and Einhorn checked to Katz who fired a bet of 200,000. Both of his opponents folded and he was able to take down the pot.

Bryn Kenney just took his seat during the break and was directed to the open spot on the left of Phil Ivey. Just a few hands later, Ivey opened to 36,000 from early position and Kenney three-bet to 130,000. The action folded back to Ivey who called to see a flop of {k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Both players checked and the {7-Spades} landed on the turn. Ivey checked again and Kenney slid in a delayed continuation bet of 120,000. Ivey called and the {3-Diamonds} completed the board. Ivey checked for the third time and Kenney barrelled another 365,000. Ivey made the call and Kenney turned over {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Ivey showed {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for two pair and dragged in the pot.

Daniel Negreanu opened in middle position with a raise to 40,000. Antonio Esfandiari was next to act from middle position and he raised to 101,000. Action folded back around and Negreanu called.

On the {10-Clubs} turn, Negreanu led out, betting 100,000. Esfandiari thought for a bit before raising and making it 368,000. Negreanu then took him time and raised to 1,200,000. Esfandiari called.

On the {4-Spades} river, Negreanu checked. Esfandiari checked behind. Negreanu showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for the nut straight and Esfandiari let out a groan before mucking his hand.

"I was very happy to hear you check on the river," Negreanu said after the hand.
