Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

An enormous pile of chips was already in the middle as Christopher Claassen, Scott Bohlman, and Chino Rheem went to the river on a board of 6♠6♦7♦4♣K♦.

Claassen, in the hijack, put out a bet and Bohlman tanked on the button before calling. "I can't imagine this is good," Rheem said as he tossed away two eights.

Claassen showed 10♦8♦ for the rivered flush and Bohlman mucked.

Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu came into the day on an above-average stack of 163,000 but just had his tournament come to an early end on the first level of Day 2.

According to Noah Bronstein at his table, Negreanu raised under the gun with KxJx, then called when Nick Guagenti three-bet the big blind with AxQx.

Negreanu hit a king on the flop, but Guagenti spiked an ace on the river to send Negreanu to the rail.

"Daniel didn't drag an ante for an hour and a half. Phil was laughing at him," Bronstein added.

Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Jeremy Ausmus, who recently won his sixth WSOP bracelet in the $3,200 Online High Roller event won't be claiming his seventh bracelet in this event, as he was just eliminated.

On his way off the tournament floor, he passed by John Hennigan's table, where the Hall of Famer congratulated Ausmus on his nomination for induction this year, with a playful rib at the end.

"Congrats on your nomination, you're a shoo-in. But I didn't vote for you," joked Hennigan, which brought a smile to the face of Ausmus as he headed off to his next event to try to claim number seven.

David "ODB" Baker: 8♣5♦2♣/5♣6♠10♣6♦
John Racener: XxXx/J♣4♦ - folded fourth street

With Hansu Chu all in on third street, action was picked up on fourth street where it checked to David "ODB" Baker, who bet and got called by Scott Seiver and Wil Wilkinson, while John Racener folded.

Wilkinson paired deuces on fifth to take the betting lead but opted to check, as did Baker. Seiver bet and got called by both remaining opponents.

On sixth street, Seiver added a pair of nines to his hand and bet again, still getting a pair of calls.

Seventh street saw a trio of checks and the hands were revealed.

Wilkinson showed a full house of aces full of deuces, which would scoop the huge pot as no one held a qualifying low that could take half, while Chu's sevens and threes left him with a trip to the rail.
