Negreanu Scoops Guagenti

Josh Noy

Level 9

Stud Hi-Lo

Elezra May Have a Busy Friday

Mike Patrick

Level 9

Eli Elezra has had a good day building a healthy stack of 161,000 as of this writing. If he can keep this going for another couple of hours, he'll be taking a nice bag of chips into Day 2 Friday afternoon.

One small problem though.

He's also got a 45 big blind bag awaiting him in Friday's Day 2 of the Seniors Event!

Play for that begins at 10:00 am local time, so with play in the nine-game event ending around 2:00 am, it could be a short night of sleep and a long day of double-dipping ahead for the hall of fame nominee.

Massive Cooler Puts Friedman on Fumes, Eliminates Ohel

Mike Patrick

Level 8

Pot-Limit Omaha

The last level before re-entry closes can bring some crazy pots, and this was certainly the case at table 532.

Randy Ohel, Adam Friedman and Kao Saechao each got almost 70,000 in preflop, with Ohel at risk.

Randy Ohel:
Adam Friedman:
Kao Saechao:

The board ran out , with Saechao making a runner-runner straight to eliminate Ohel and put Friedman on fumes.

Ohel had the ability to re-enter, but Friedman will have to run his stack up if he's to survive.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kao "Flexx" Saechao	195,000
Adam Friedman	20,500	-60,500
Randy Ohel	Busted
