The river came the {q-Clubs}, making Cao's flush and knocking out his opponent early on Day 1e. Cao made it up for the busted player by paying for the massage that abruptly came to an end.

Feldman Receives Gift

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

At Daniel Negreanu's table, Ross Feldman was stacking his new winnings with a player was walking out the door.

Feldman's {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} was showing as the winner on a board of {6-}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-}{q-Hearts} for quads as the losing hand was the {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The player who was eliminated had apparently not wanted to be seated at the same table as Negreanu and had made a request to be given a new seat, which was not possible.

However, his main event was over quick enough as according to the table, he had jammed all in on the turn which Feldman was more than happy to call with his monster to send the vanquished opponent on his way.
