Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 35,000 and Byron Kaverman defended the small blind to see a flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Kaverman checked, Thorel bet 55,000 and folded to a check-raise worth 140,000 by Kaverman.

One hand later, Kaverman raised to 36,000 on the button and Daniel Negreanu moved all in out of the big blind. Kaverman snap-called and Negreanu joked "Oh, I asked if you were all in" with a smile on the face.

Byron Kaverman: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Daniel Negreanu: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}{5-Spades} and Negreanu was eliminated. "Where can I rebuy now?" Negreanu joked to the floor and, when he was told that it wasn't possible anymore, he continued "oh, I would have never played ace five diamonds then," before leaving the tournament area. Kaverman moved to almost one million in chips as a result.
