Kars Ousted

Level 7 : 300/500, 0 ante

Bartel Kars was in middle position against Tim Gerritzen on his left and the flop was {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Kars bet 4,000 and Gerritzen called.

The {8-Spades} came on the turn and Kars bet 10,000 with Gerritzen shoving and Kars snap-calling for 5,000 more.

Tim Gerritzen: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Bartel Kars: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Kars said "pair the board" to the dealer but he didn't make him this favor, bringing the {5-Clubs} on the river to send him to the rail.

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu took his seat late in the event, but he didn't last for long. In a battle of the blinds against Laurids Nielsen they went to a {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop with Negreanu betting 1,000 and Nielsen check-calling.

The {6-Hearts} came on the turn and Nielsen checked again, Negreanu announced pot for 5,600 chips, Nielsen shoved quickly and Negreanu called even quicker.

Daniel Negreanu: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Laurids Nielsen: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The {a-Clubs} on the river gave Nielsen the nut straight and he sent Negreanu to the cashier for his first re-entry.

Baker Drawing Thin and Eliminated

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

David Baker lost his second entry in the event, when he put his chips in the middle in a situation where he was drawing pretty thin. He was against Shawn Stroke and the board read {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

Shawn Stroke: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
David Baker: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The {k-Diamonds} on the turn gave him two outs, the two remaining kings in the deck, but the {2-Spades} on the river sent him to the rail. However, he didn't abandon this event, since he is already back in with his second re-entry.
