Biechel Shoves

Remy Biechel raised from late position for 3,300 and JC Tran three-bet to 9,000 from the blind. Beichel flat-called.

On the {5-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} flop, Tran led out for 11,000 only for Biechel to slide his stack across the felt. It looked to be around the 65,000 mark.

Tran let it go, but still has above average with 135,000.

Smith Gone

Dan Smith raised under the and an opponent from middle position went to raise to 5,000 as he didn't see Smith's all-in bet. The 5,000 had to say and the player called the total of 16,400 anyway. Everyone else folded and it was Smith's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} up against the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for his opponent.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Smith was sent to the rail.

Esfandiari Eliminated

After Barry Greenstein raised to 4,000, Antonio Esfandiari pushed his last 5,200 into the middle. Greenstein made the cheap call when the action got back to him. Greenstein held the {Q-Spades}{5-Spades} and Esfandiari the {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} to give Greenstein a winning straight on the turn and send Esfandiari to the rail.

Out kicked; Out the Door

Farzad Bonyadi has been eliminated by Eric Baldwin after a pre-flop all-in show-down. Bonyadi moved all-in for 18,200 from mid-position and was called by Baldwin in the SB.

Bonyadi: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Baldwin: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The board ran {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} but Balwin wasn't paying too much attention as he was too busy talking about Viktor Blom with Eli Elezra and others. He paused his conversation for a moment to shake Bonyadi's hand and then back to talking about the chip leader.

Ludo-crous Victory

Ludovic Lacay, who has seen more ups and down than a honeymooner's bed just got very lucky to double up through reigning WSOPE champion Barry Shulman. All the chips went in on a {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flop, Lacay holding {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} but Shulman not only had the best hand but the best draw also, holding {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}.

Shulman improved to trips on the {Q-Clubs} turn but somehow the dealer put out the {7-Clubs} on the river to jump over 100,000 while Shulman was left with just 25,000.

Yev Takes a Bite Out of Blom

Viktor Blom opened to 3,700 from early position, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko shipped it in for 21,300 a few seats over. Blom looked snakebitten, agonizing over a decision for what was just a fraction of his chips. Eventually he called, simultaneously pleading, "Small pair?"

Timoshenko turned over {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}, though, and Blom was thrilled.

"I'm good!" he said, flipping over his live {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs}.

The dealer was on Timoshenko's side, though, running out a safe board of {7-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} to secure his double up. That puts him back up to about 45,000.

"That'll put a dent in your stack," Corkins said to Blom as the two men chuckled. Blom is doing just fine, thankyouverymuch; he's still got about 430,000 and the chip lead.

The Nine High

Daniel Negreanu has never truly got going today, but his latest double through could be the one to see him hit that next gear.

All in on a {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop, Negreanu announced "Nine high" as he showed {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

"Ah, the 'nine high'," added another player.

I believe JC Tran was the man holding top pair, his {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} ahead, but vulnerable against Kid Poker's opened-ended straight flush draw.

With the turn coming the {8-Clubs} to improve his hand to two pair, Negreanu had more outs than a tennis match, one of which duly arrived on the {2-Hearts} river to double him through.

A quick glance down at his chips reveals that Negreanu now has something around the 85,000 mark.
