All three players checked the 4♥5♥3♣ flop and the 9♥ turn, before Slobodskoy fired 22,000 on the Q♠ river. Young folded, while Matsuzuki announced a raise to 80,000.

Arieh's Run Ends

Josh Noy

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Josh Arieh slid almost all of his short stack into the middle after the 2♥5♠8♣ flop, leaving 5,000 behind. Filippos Stavrakis took some time before calling the bet, after which the remaining chips were tossed into the middle ahead of the turn card.

Josh Arieh: Q♠J♦10♦8♥
Filippos Stavrakis: A♥A♦10♥7♦

Arieh's pair of eights needed help, but the 2♦ turn gave Stavrakis two pair to end it. The 7♣ river completed the board, as Arieh made his way to the payout desk.

Negreanu Moves From PLO to Hold-Em

Claudio Elizalde

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and Daniel Negreanu had his camera out, sweating both his opponents' cards and how they affected his outs.

Daniel Negreanu: K♠Q♠Q♦2♦
Will Berry: A♣9♦6♦8♣
Nicolas Gola: K♥Q♥2♦2♣

Gola was the only one with a hefty stack and put both his opponents at risk. The flop ran out K♦6♣J♥ putting Gola and Negreanu ahead with the same made hand. The A♥ on the turn was a dagger to both of them as Berry now took the lead. An inconsequential 7♠ fell on the river.

Berry found a triple up and Negreanu was left chopping a measly pot with Gola; this left Negreanu with only 16,000 chips. He did fold a few hands before getting it in three ways shortly after but to no avail.

Negreanu was in a hurry to get his pay out, as he intends on registering the $10,000 Limit Hold'em event that's going on today. This is a variant he has years of experience in and, as always, we'll have to keep an eye on him to catch his next deep run.

Josh Noy

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lok Chan bet 67,000 on a board showing 6♦10♠5♦5♥ and quickly faced a raise by Gheorghe Butuc for the remainder of his stack. Chan made the call and the hands were turned up.

Lok Chan: A♠8♦7♥6♥
Gheorghe Butuc: A♦K♠Q♣Q♦

Butuc's queens were in the lead, while Chan bricked the 7♣ river to end his tournament run.

Habegger Chips Up

Claudio Elizalde

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lawrence Brandt raised it to 25,000 when it folded to him on the button. Only Fernando Habegger in the big blind made the call.

The flop came out 9♠J♣2♦ and both players checked. The turn brought the A♥ and Habegger checked. Brandt then bet 35,000, which was called.

The river brought in the Q♦ and Habegger took some time before cutting out a bet of 130,000. Brandt tossed his hand in the muck and Habegger scoop a pot, moving up in the counts.
