: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu opened to 6,000 from early position and Jean-Francois Alexandre called from the cutoff. Jason Wheeler three-bet to 21,000 from the button and Negreanu folded 9♣7♣. Alexandre four-bet shoved, slightly covering Wheeler who started the hand with 123,500. Wheeler snap-called and was at risk.
Jason Wheeler: K♠K♣ 
Jean-Francois Alexandre: J♦J♣
Wheeler's kings held up on the 4♣9♥K♥3♦10♦ runout and he doubled up, leaving Alexandre with just over one big blind. Alexandre was eliminated shortly afterward.
