PokerNews Robbing Time Banks?

Adam Lamers

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Down to the official final table, the remaining eight players were each given an additional six time banks. Martin Kabrhel wasted no time in putting them to use, flicking one of his many into the middle when the action folded to him.

"I don't know how he gets so many," Chris Brewer pondered on his left. "I think the PokerNews team takes them from us and gives them to him on the break or something."

Kabrhel proceeded to announce a raise of 3,950,000, all of his chips in front of him. The rest of the table folded and Kabrhel picked up the blinds and ante at the expense of one time bank.

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alex Foxen opened to 650,000 from early position before it folded to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind.

"I'm gonna use my first time extension," explained Negreanu as he counted out his chips.

He eventually announced all-in for 2,125,000, and Foxen snapped it off.

Daniel Negreanu: A♦9♥ All in
Alex Foxen: A♣K♥

It went from grim to desperate for Negreanu on the K♠10♦6♣ flop as Foxen paired his king. He was drawing dead on the 3♣ turn to the irrelevant 7♥ on the river and the late-night rail cheered for Negreanu as he exited in ninth after another deep run this World Series.

Daniel Negreanu opened on the button and Alex Foxen three-bet jammed a stack of around 5,500,000 from the big blind. Negreanu called.

Alex Foxen: 10♣10♠ All in
Daniel Negreanu: A♥Q♠

Foxen took a big lead on the flop of 6♣10♥4♠ and the 7♦ turn had Negreanu drawing dead before the A♣ river confirmed a double for "Foxy."

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Thomas Boivin raised to 550,000 in middle position and David Peters flat-called in the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of A♣10♥9♦ and Boivin check-called a bet of 950,000 from Peters.

The turn was the 9♥ and both players checked to the 4♦ on the river. Boivin led out with a bet of 900,000 and Peters sent his cards to the muck.

The action folded to David Peters in the small blind who raised to 700,000 and Daniel Negreanu called in the big blind.

The A♣9♦5♣ flop checked through to the 9♠ turn which saw Peters check again. Negreanu fired for 600,000 and Peters gave it up quickly as Negreanu padded his stack on the first hand of the new level.

Biao Ding Eliminated in 10th Place ($516,393)

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On the first hand after the bubble burst, Biao Ding jammed for 2,575,000 from the cutoff and Bryn Kenney called from the big blind.

Biao Ding: A♦4♦ All in
Bryn Kenney: 7♥7♣

Ding needed some help to survive which he found on the Q♠10♦8♦ flop as he picked up a flush draw. He found additional outs on the 8♠ turn to counterfeit Kenney's sevens. However, it was a classic case of too many outs as the K♣ fell on the river and Kenney held.

The final nine players will now combine at a single final table.

Andrew Lichtenberger: A♠10♠ All in
Thomas Boivin: K♣K♦

Lichtenberger couldn't hit an ace as the board ran out 7♦4♥3♥3♦J♣ to mark his elimination on the money bubble as Boivin grew his chip lead.

Tollerene bet 350,000 on the 6♦3♦K♦ flop. Kenney called.

The turn came the 4♥ and Tollerene bet again, this time for 800,000. Kenney made the call.

Tollerene checked the K♣ river and Kenney bet 2,675,000. Tollerene folded, and Kenney won the pot.
