Weisman Chops With Seidel

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a flop of {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Erik Seidel bet 10,000 and Dylan Weisman raised it up, then called all-in when Seidel pushed.

Dylan Weisman: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Erik Seidel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Both had outs to hit a different full house but they settled for a chop on the {9-Spades} turn and {a-Hearts} river.

Daniel Negreanu was somewhat upset on the turn as he mentioned to have folded pocket nines but his mood changed after the final community card. All three players remain well below the starting stack.

Karakitukov Cracks Ivey's Aces

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey was forced all in on the flop of {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. His aces {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} were in trouble vs the flopped two pair {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} of Veselin Karakitukov.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and the river came the {7-Diamonds} to give no help to Ivey and he was busted and he quickly went to go buy right back in at the same seat.

Zinno Takes a Small One

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was three ways on the turn with the board displaying {k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} as Ap Garza departed from the hand and the river was dealt the {10-Diamonds}.

From the button, Anthony Zinno bet 35,000. Ben Diebold was in the small blind and folded after some brief consideration.

Negreanu Will "Be Right Back"

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu started recording for his vlog when he got it in after the {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop with a shorter stack and he was up against John Riordan.

Daniel Negreanu: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
John Riordan: {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Negreanu was in dire shape and Riordan improved to a straight on the {4-Diamonds} turn, leaving his opponent with three outs only. Nothing changed on the {q-Spades} river and Negreanu left with the "onto the next one, be right back".

Kempton Doubles Through Yankov

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The flop showed {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Isaac Kempton bet 25,000 from under the gun. Krasimir Yankov raised to 75,000 and once the action was back on Kempton, he pushed all-in with Yankov instantly calling.

Isaac Kempton: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Krasimir Yankov: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The straight draw of Yankov missed on the {k-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river for Kempton to double for 193,000 total.

Negreanu Back and Short Again

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu recorded for his vlog again and mentioned that he "had just lost with aces" and then got the last few chips in again with aces in what turned out to be a three-way all-in versus Parviz Razavian and Tan Nguyen.

Daniel Negreanu: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Parviz Razavian: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Tan Nguyen: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}

The {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board kept both aces in the lead as Negreanu and Razavian chopped the main pot, while Razavian doubled through Nguyen. "Nice doing business with you guys," Nguyen joked in table chat.

Mermelstein Rivers Third King For Over a Million Chip Pot

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aaron Mermelstein
Aaron Mermelstein

There was a big three-way all in preflop.

Phil Galfond: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}
Aaron Mermelstein: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Danny Hannawa: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Danny Hanawa had the largest stack and the chance to slay two players at once. The flop came {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} which pretty good as Hanawa had spades covered, but he would need to dodge straight draws. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} to pair the board but the river was the {k-Spades} to give Mermelstin a boat and render Hanawa's spades useless. Hanawa pounded the table in anger as the huge pot being was denied from his clutches.

Mermelstein reeled in the over 1,000,000 pot while Hannawa was left short and Galfond was busted.
