With roughly 700,000 in the middle, the turn came the 4♠ and Mateos led out 260,000. Haxton called.

On the K♠ river card, Mateos bet 1,300,000 and was called by Haxton.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh opened to 140,000 from the cutoff and Landon Tice defended his big blind.

Tice check-called for 150,000 on the Q♥8♠2♣ flop before leading out for 150,000 on the 8♥ turn. Von Krigenbergh called.

Tice sized up to 650,000 on the 9♠ river, sending his opponent into the tank. "TVK" thought for over two minutes, using up four time banks before making painful looking call.

Tice tabled 9♣8♦ for eights full of nines.

"Yeah, that's a good hand," said Von Kriegenbergh as he connceded the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Isaac Haxton opened to 120,000 and was called by Mathew Frankland, who was on his direct left in the hijack. Sean Perry then three-bet to 310,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Haxton, who put in enough T-1,000,000 chips to have both opponents at risk for their tournament lives. Frankland folded while Perry called off his stack of a little more than one million.

Sean Perry: A♥K♣ All in
Isaac Haxton: A♦Q♦

Perry had Haxton dominated and became the bigger favorite after the 8♣5♠5♥ flop, but Haxton took the lead on the Q♠ turn and secured the bust out after the 3♥ river.

Adam Lamers

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Chen opened to 100,000 in early position and Daniel Negreanu defended from the big blind. The flop came A♥9♦3♠ and Negreanu check-called a small bet from Chen.

The turn brought the K♥ and Negreanu checked again. Chen splashed in a bet of 125,000 and Negreanu stuck around for the 8♦ on the river. Negreanu checked for the third time and Chen announced all in. Negreanu nearly beat him into the pot with his stack of around 350,000.

Chen rolled over 9♥9♣ for a set of nines and Negreanu was in disbelief as he tabled A♣3♥ for two pair. Negreanu was left mumbling to himself as he headed to the rail with his camera on.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Sean Perry opened in middle position to 100,000 before action folded to Kristen Foxen in the small, who moved all in for 1,250,000. Isaac Haxton, in the big blind, called, and Perry got out of the way.

Kristen Foxen: A♦J♥ All in
Isaac Haxton: Q♣Q♦

Foxen found no help on the 10♠4♣4♥ flop, nor the 9♠ turn, and when the river 4♠ completed the board, Foxen headed for the exit.

Ivey Chows Down the Fish

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jason Koon, in the cutoff, and Phil Ivey, on the button, just got their stacks into the middle preflop, with Ivey the player at risk.

Koon had AxKx while Ivey held 10x10x. The board ran out queen high for Ivey to double.

Ivey opened the following hand to 100,000, then reached into his bag and pulled out some glass tupperware, which appeared to contain some form of peppered or Cajun salmon. As Ivey took a few mouthfuls, the button and blinds got out of the way, and the 11-time bracelet winner took his stack above 2,000,000.

Phil Ivey	2,200,000 1,255,000	1,255,000

The Room Gets a Little Quieter

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to Sean Perry and, knowing that Martin Kabrhel only had a stack of 100,000 in the big blind, he raised to 80,000. The small blind folded, and Kabrhel called.

When the flop came down 5♥2♠8♥, Kabrhel checked and Perry threw 20,000 in, the same amount as Kabrhel's stack.

Kabrhel let Perry know this was not a legal bet as the big blind, and therefore the minimum bet, was 40,000. Perry corrected his bet size, and then Kabrhel entered the tank.

After a quick look around the table, double-checking his tablemates' stacks, Kabrhel committed his remaining 20,000 chips to the pot.

Martin Kabrhel: Q♣8♠ All in
Sean Perry: A♥7♥

Kabrhel was ahead, but Perry was positive that he was going to have the best hand by the river.

Sure enough, the 4♥ turn had Kabrhel drawing dead and when the river came down an inconsequential J♣, he headed to the exit.
