Four ways post-draw with several thousand already in the middle, Joel Deutsch checked in the small blind, Chance Kornuth checked in the big blind, and Jean-Robert Bellande checked from the hijack to Daniel Negreanu, who bet 15,000 on the button.

Deutsch folded, Kornuth called, and Bellande folded.

Negreanu looked at his hand and said, "Oh my God! I accidentally value bet a straight!" and revealed 9x8x7x6x5x. "I swear I thought I had a nine!"

Kornuth revealed 10x8x7x6x3x for a ten and was sent the pot.

"We need to play Negreanu more when he's drinking," Bellande chimed in.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 2,400 ante

Heads-up after the draw, Matthew Schreiber bet 5,100 from the hijack and Philip Sternheimer moved all in for 60,100 on the button.

"Why do I like paying you off so much? I just pay everyone off, right Billy?" Schreiber said as Billy Baxter wandered over from another table to observe the action.

"He has to be a psychopath to bluff here because he knows I like calling. But he did something that I feel like he's bluffing," Schreiber added. He eventually called and Sternheimer instantly tossed his cards into the muck.

Schreiber showed 10x9x7x3x2x as he took the pot. "Nice call," Sternheimer told him on his way to the rail.

Dan Shak led out for 10,000 from the small blind after the draw and Daniel Negreanu, still sipping on his wine glass, moved all in from under the gun. "You're not calling. Zero percent you call," Negreanu said, but Shak did put in his last 50,000.

Negreanu turned over 8x7x4x3x2x and Shak tossed 8x7x6x5x3x into the muck on his way to the rail.

"I'm playing great, now. Right, Rast?" Negreanu asked table neighbor Brian Rast as he raked in the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Mike Matusow was already all in pre-draw from the cutoff for approximately 28,000 against Alex Livingston, who was in the small blind.

Livingston stood pat and Matusow tanked before eventually deciding to stand pat himself.

Livingston tabled 10x8x7x3x2x and Matusow hit the table in frustration.

"I knew it was close!" Matusow said before sending his hand into the muck.

At another table, Jean-Robert Bellande was eliminated.
