Channing Doubles Through Levi
Flop:
Channing, down to just 6,000, open-shoved. Keys decided it wasn't worth it and passed, but Nicolas Levi now went over the top of him for 11,000. There were some noises around the table, of the variety made by plumbers who see their kids' college funds coming out of your leaky pipes, and everyone else ducked out of the way.

River:
Channing more than doubles up to around 16,000; meanwhile Levi is crippled down to just 5,000.
Aggressionfish
Near Death Flop
The flop came
causing tablemate, Nik Persaud to face the other way. No such behavior from Medic who stayed focused as he bet 1,200 and a just-as-interested Jorgensen made the call.The turn saw Jorgensen check-raise Medic's 2,600 bet to 5,200 which was around half his stack. Medic made the call, though, only leaving himself 7,000 behind.
When the river came
, Jorgensen gave up and check-folded to Medic's all-in. Medic is back above his starting stack whereas Jorgensen is short now.

Negreanu Takes the Chip Lead
. Hougaard checked, Negreanu bet 800 and Hougaard raised to 3,200. "Hmmm. I have to think about the best way to approach this," said Negreanu before sliding out a stack of 50,000 chips, enough to set Hougaard all in.
Hougaard mumbled something we couldn't quite hear, but evidently Negreanu could.
"You have a pair AND a straight draw? OK, so you hit your miracle flop and have to fold?" he said with a chuckle.
"Seems like it," said Hougaard before mucking his cards.
"I have a set. You're a nice kid, so I'll show," said Negreanu, flashing
. "I was in the same situation at the WSOP this summer. The flop was 6-8-9. I had two sixes and the other guy had two nines," he quipped as he raked in the pot.
Negreanu now on 95,000 and the clear chip leader.
De Wolfe Didn't Eat All His Dinner
. Both players checked so we got to see the
turn. This time the small blind player led out for 1,550 and de Wolfe called. The river saw the small blind check to face a 2,000 bet from de Wolfe. He folded 
face-up and de Wolfe showed 
.The small blind player then said to de Wolfe, "If you played that differently you could of got my whole stack."
De Wolfe still happy on 47,000.
Channing Opens Doors for Keys
There were a few limpers preflop including Channing on the button. Keys made it 1,300 from the small blind, and it folded around to Channing. He eyed up Keys' remaining chips, saw that they totaled only 5,000 or so, and called. The flop was dealt, Keys open-shoved, and Channing called.
Keys:
Channing:
Board:
Channing: "Yeeees, very nice hand, well played."
Keys: "Back up to half a stack now."
