Petrangelo Leaves Elias on Fumes

Level 8 : 5,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With just under 300,000 in the pot on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Nick Petrangelo led from the small blind and was raised all in by Darren Elias in late position for just over 400,000, which had Petrangelo slightly covered.

Petrangelo called with his tournament life and bounty at risk.

Nick Petrangelo: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Darren Elias: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Petrangelo's aces would have to fade Elias' straight draw and backdoor flush draw, and while Elias paired up on the {10-Clubs} turn, the {a-Hearts} on the river locked up the hand for Petrangelo and left Elias with just 15,000 chips.

Seidel and Reixach Battle For Big Pot

Level 8 : 5,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded around to Sergi Reixach, who raised 20,000 from the button. Erik Seidel surveyed the pot and his opponent, and raised to 80,000 from the big blind. Reixach gave Seidel a quick look, and called to see a flop.

Seidel continued for another 60,000 with a board of {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, and Reixach called once more.

Both players checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn, and saw {j-Clubs} fall on the river.

Seidel pushed in two blue chips for 200,000 and Reixach threw his two blues in one at a time for the call.

Seidel turned over {j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the flush, and Reixach let his hand find the muck before his cards were seen.

Crivello Doubles Through Petrangelo

Level 8 : 5,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and Frank Crivello, who had just re-entered the tournament, three-bet to 80,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Petrangelo asked for a count before putting Crivello all in. Crivello snap called.

Frank Crivello: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Nick Petrangelo: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Cirvello was in good shape to double up and did so courtesy of the {5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} runout.

Smith Can't Get There

Level 7 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Dan Smith in late position who shoved his remaining 130,000 chips into the middle. No one looked him up until Alex Foxen, after some careful consideration, called out of the big blind to put Smith at risk.

Dan Smith: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Alex Foxen: {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Smith was behind but did have two live cards. Unfortunately for him the {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board brought no help and sent his stack and the $25,000 bounty Foxen's way.

Smith wasted no time hopping back into the action and will now have a fresh set of chips to work with, while Frank Crivello was also seen firing off a second bullet after busting earlier in the day.

Peters Moves All In Against Negreanu

Level 7 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

David Peters raised 20,000 in early position, and Daniel Negreanu raised again to 90,000 from the small blind.

Peters took a few moments, and then moved the remainder of his 475,000 stack in the middle.

Negreanu gave it consideration, using a time bank in his deliberation.

"I just think you have a really good hand", Negreanu told Peters, and he let it go.

Rheem Puts Deeb to the Test

Chino Reem
Chino Reem

Chino Rheem has been steadily growing his stack into the chip lead and he quickly extended it after the break in a hand with Shaun Deeb.

Action was discovered on the river with a 600,000+ chip pot built with the board reading {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Rheem moved all in from the big blind for Deeb's final 325,000 chips and his $25,000 bounty.

In middle position, Deeb pondered his decision for over two minutes before annoyedly tossing his cards to the muck and awarding another sizable pot to Rheem.
