Koon Extends Lead

Level 16 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ole Schemion raised to 135,000 on the button and was called by Jason Koon in the big blind.

Koon check-called a 180,000 bet from Schemion on the {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and then Koon led out for 240,000 on the {j-Clubs} turn. Schemion called.

Koon bet 400,000 when the {10-Spades} completed the board and Schemion folded — awarding the pot to Koon.

Negreanu Leaves Deeb Short-stacked

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

In a blind versus blind confrontation and a flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} Daniel Negreanu fired out a bet of 120,000. Next, Shaun Deeb raised all-in and Negreanu snap-called.

The hands were tabled and it was the {a-Spades}{8-Spades} held by Deeb for one pair of aces that trailed the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} held by Negreanu for one set of aces.

The dealer burned and turned the {j-Hearts} and that left Deeb drawing dead.

The meaningless river card {7-Clubs} made it official, and Negreanu survived his all-in and chipped up to over 2.7 million.

"No Gamble No Future" Eliminates McKeehen

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Just two away from the money, Joe McKeehen raised under the gun to 120,000. Shaun Deeb then burned through all of his time banks before folding. In the big blind, Ren Lin moved all-in saying "no gamble no future, right?" He was instantly called by McKeehen for a huge pot.

Ren Lin: {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Joe McKeehen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

McKeehen had Lin dominated and was safe through the turn on the {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} board, but the {4-Hearts} on the river gave Lin the flush, eliminating McKeehen.

Deeb Doubles Through Leng

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

All of the chips went into the middle preflop, and it was Shaun Deeb who held {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} versus the pocket {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} held by Leng.

The dealer flopped the {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-} and Leng remained ahead but Deeb flopped an open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Deeb turned a straight to take the lead.

The river card was the {10-Hearts} and that made it official as Deeb survived his all-in and chipped up to over one million.

Villamarin Heater Sends Him Toward Chip Lead

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Carlos Villamarin
Carlos Villamarin

After being put to the test for his tournament life against Jason Koon and calling correctly with a rivered top pair, Carlos Villamarin just won a huge pot off Ren Lin to now challenge Koon for the chip lead.

On a turn board reading {7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}, Villamarin checked to Lin, who bet 150,000. Villamarin replied with a check-raise to 675,000.

Once again, Lin dropped a "no gamble no future" reference as he moved all-in for 2,240,000 effective.

Villamarin snap-called and showed Lin the nuts.

Carlos Villamarin: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Ren Lin: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The {3-Clubs} on the river couldn't save Lin, and his stack was shrunk below two million, while Villamarin soars over five million.
