Negreanu Coolered Out of the 50k

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Cary Katz limped in the hijack and Ben Heath raised to 70,000 in the cutoff. Daniel Negreanu then re-raised to 190,000 from the button.

Katz folded and Heath then moved all in. Negreanu had a little over 700,000 behind and eventually called.

Ben Heath: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Daniel Negreanu: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Heath was dominatingly ahead and had both suits covered. There was no help for Kid Poker who was eliminated on the {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} runout.

Kenney and Imsirovic Each Show One

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded to Bryn Kenney on the button who raised it up to 45,000. Ali Imsirovic three-bet to 150,000 in the small blind which forced Kornuth out from the big blind. Kenney called and the two players saw a flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

Imsirovic led out for 80,000 and Kenney jammed all in for 450,000. Imsirovic asked for a count but decided to lay his hand down. They both agreed to show one card and Imsirovic flipped over the {a-Diamonds} while Kenney showed the {10-Clubs}.

Johannes Becker bet 130,000 on a {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board and Ho Kit Ng called. Becker showed {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for trip queens and took down the pot.

Meanwhile, chip leader Dmitry Yurasov was putting together a bet on a {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} river. He bet 140,000 and Elio Fox call. Yurasov mucked.

"Do I have to show?" Fox asked. He didn't and he mucked, taking down the pot.

Hellmuth Back Out

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

In just the second hand back to the table, Phil Hellmuth decided to tangle with Ali Imsirovic this time. Unfortunately for Hellmuth, the result was pretty much the same as before.

On a completed board of {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Hellmuth checked to Imsirovic who shoved all in. Hellmuth quickly called off his stack of around 200,000 chips and the cards were tabled. Imsirovic turned over {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a full house and Hellmuth was forced to show {a-}{2-Diamonds} for a smaller full house.

"I'll remember this one, Ali," Hellmuth stated before he stormed out. "Daniel! I made a full house on my first hand and a full house on my second hand," Hellmuth shouted as he passed by Negreanu's table.

Doubles for Einhorn and Ng

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
David Einhorn
David Einhorn

The dealer was counting out a big double for David Einhorn, who held {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} on a {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} board for a full house. That was enough to beat the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} of Scott Seiver who had rivered a flush. Einhorn doubled for over a million chips through Scott Seiver who was left with 21 big blinds.

Meanwhile Ho Kit Ng was all in for 295,000 against Barry Hutter.

Ho Kit Ng: {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Barry Hutter: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board came {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts} giving Ng two pair and doubling up.

Heath Brings the Heat

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ben Heath
Ben Heath

There was a flurry of raises on Table 426 which resulted in three players with all of their chips in the middle. Steve Yea was the short stack with around 100,000, Zach Clark started the hand with around 640,000 and Ben Heath had both players covered.

Ben Heath: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Zach Clark: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Steve Yea: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The flop fell {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Clark was still out front with his pocket queens. However, the {9-Hearts} on the turn gave Heath a set of nines. The {8-Hearts} on the river improved Heath to a full house and he eliminated both of his opponents.
