Negreanu Slips Back

Daniel Negreanu is down to his lowest point so far, chip-wise - he's at around 170,000 to Feldman's 790,000 or so.

Feldman had made the initial raise to 20,000 from the button before flat-calling Negreanu's reraise to 55,000. They saw a {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop, and Negreanu bet out 65,000 - only for Feldman to go all in.

Negreanu looked most surprised, but then settled down to tank. When he ceased to dwell up, he folded announcing, "Ace high," and his stack is now looking pretty precarious.

Negreanu Stack Jacked Up a Little

Daniel Negreanu has made a mini-recovery after his {j-Spades}{7-Hearts} came good on the river of a {10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts} board.

Negreanu had actually min-raised preflop and Andrew Feldman called, before they just checked it down all the way. Feldman announced, "Six," but mucked when Negreanu turned over his hand.

Negreanu edged back up to 265,000 - still the shorter stack by a long way.

Feldman Widens the Gap

Daniel Negreanu is now down to less than a quarter of the chip in play after min-raising from the button and calling a reraise to 46,000 from Andrew Feldman.

They checked down the {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop, and indeed the {2-Hearts} turn, before Feldman bet out 61,000 on the {7-Diamonds} river. Negreanu gave it up, and is down to 210,000 against Feldman's 750,000.

Straight Down the Line

We just witnessed some extraordinary tankage, as Andrew Feldman, who'd raised preflop in position and bet 26,000 on the {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop before checking behind Daniel Negreanu on the {5-Spades} river, disappeared into his own private pool of indecision for at least seven full minutes when Negreanu bet out 60,000 on the {2-Hearts} river.

Feldman talked at Negreanu for most of that time, most notably telling him, "You can call the clock if you like."

Negreanu remained silent until eventually he told Feldman, "Nothing personal," and did just that.

Finally Feldman called - and it was a good call, as it turned out that they were both playing the straight on the board.

Negreanu: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Feldman: {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Unlucky Vaswani Sevens for Eyster (£47,045)

Ram Vaswani - headed for the semi-finals tomorrow

After that endless Round 4, they are dropping like very expensive flies in here.

Kevin Eyster opened for 16,000 on the button and was met with a reraise to 44,000 from Ram Vaswani. Eyster went all in for 221,000, Vaswani called, and it was off to the races for Eyster's tournament life.

Eyster: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Vaswani: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Board: a no-one hit anything {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}

And with that, we are down to just one match.

Negreanu Behind

While the other half of the room were busy getting their chips in, Daniel Negreanu took a bit of a hit courtesy of Andrew Feldman.

Feldman made it 15,000 from the button and Negreanu called, but they proceeded to check down the {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts} board until the river, when Feldman bet 21,000. Negreanu claled, but mucked when Feldman turned over {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and his stack comprised 285,000 chips at the end of it.
