Phil Ivey opened for 175,000 on the button and Patrik Antonius hit the tank from the small blind. He thoughts for one minute, then two . . . three . . . four . . . five . . . six . . . "All in."
Gus Hasen wasted little time in folding from the big blind, and Ivey asked for a count. Even though there are two dealers at the table, Hansen volunteered, reached over, and began breaking down Antonius' stack, which ended up being a little over 900K. Ivey took a moment to stare up at the ceiling before spiraling his cards toward the muck.
Daniel Negreanu currently sits in second place on the all-time money list with $14,901,459, second only to Erik Seidel's $16,885,167. "Kid Poker" has a chance to change that tonight and take over the #1 spot if he can win the $250,000 Challenge for $2 million, which would put him in front of Seidel by just $16,292!
After doubling up Gus Hansen, Sorel Mizzi found himself all in preflop with and behind the of Phil Ivey. Mizzi needed some major help, and he got some as the flop gave him both straight and flush possibilities.
Unfortunately for Mizzi, neither the turn nor river completed those draws and he was eliminated in fifth place, bringing us to the money bubble.
Once again, we are unable to get accurate counts at the moment, but will do so as soon as possible.
On a flop of , Gus Hansen checked from the big blind and Sorel Mizzi put out a bet from the under-the-gun position. Hansen then sprung to life with a check-raise to around 92,000, Mizzi moved all in, and Hansen snap-called.
Showdown
Hansen
Mizzi
Hansen had a hammerlock on the hand, and Mizzi was left drawing dead on the turn. The was put out on the river for good measure, as Hansen collected the pot. Unfortunately we can't get close enough to the feature table to get accurate chip counts, but we will do so on the next break.

The story of the night seems to be long stretches of boredom accompanied by sporadic moments of pure excitement. Winfred Yu's elimination was one of those rare moments, and now it seems we're back to the other stuff as the remaining five players, all experienced pros, continue to trade blinds and antes back and forth.
Winfred Yu got his last 132,000 all in preflop and was way ahead of his sole opponent, Daniel Negreanu.
Showdown
Yu
Negreanu
Unfortunately for Yu, the flop came down about as bad as it could when it ran out , giving Negreanu trips. The turn left Yu drawing dead, and he made his exit after the was put out on the river.
Winfred Yu moved all in for his last 124,000 with and was called by the of Patrik Antonius. The board ran out and it was a chopped pot. Not particularly exciting, but we wanted to use the above title and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get it out of our system.
