Negreanu Takes the Rest From Ivey

David Salituro
Level 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu got the rest of Ivey's short stack in the middle on third street.

Negreanu made {a-}{3-}{4-}{8-}{j-}{5-}{7-} for 7-5-4-3-A and Ivey was already turning his cards over on a board of {5-}{a-}{6-}{9-}{a-}{10-} before receiving a {3-} on seventh for a losing 9-6-5-3-A. He pretended to punch Negreanu on his way out, his tournament over after just a few minutes.

Phil Ivey: {x-}{x-}/{5-}{6-}{a-}{6-}/{x-}
Ziya Rahim: {x-}{x-}/{4-}{9-}{6-}{a-}/{x-}

Phil Ivey bet on fifth street and was called by Ziya Rahim.

Rahim bet on sixth and Ivey raised. Rahim called and checked on seventh. Ivey bet again and Rahim came back with a raise. Ivey quickly called.

"I have a wheel," Rahim said, turning over {3-}{2-}{5-} as Ivey mucked, dropping down to just 2,000 less than 15 minutes after taking his seat in the tournament.

Adam Friedman completed with an {a-} up and Bernie Wen called with an {8-}.

Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-}/{a-}{3-}{q-}{4-}/{x-}
Bernie Wen: {x-}{x-}/{8-}{a-}{5-}{4-}/{x-}

On fourth street Friedman bet and was called by Wen.

Action on fifth street checked through to sixth street where Wen bet and Friedman called.

On seventh Wen bet once more and Friedman called saying "I guess you paired your ace." Wen turned over {7-}{10-}{a-} for an eight-seven but Friedman was right that he paired his ace. Friedman turned over {8-}{6-}{9-} for an eight six which was good for the pot.

At another table, Everett Carlton was eliminated.

Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-}/{4-}{7-}{2-}
David Funkhouser: {x-}{x-}/{6-}{6-}{k-}

Phil Hellmuth attempted to go all in on fourth street but was only allowed to make it the limit, leaving just a few chips behind, as David Funkhouser called. They got the rest of his chips in the middle on fifth.

Hellmuth finished with {5-}{7-}{9-}{k-} for 9-7-5-4-2 and Funkhouser was showing {2-}{5-}{8-}{9-} for 9-8-6-5-2 as Hellmuth doubled up his short stack.

Jason Mercier: {x-}{x-}/{8-}{2-}{10-}{3-}/{x-}
Rafael Lebron: {x-}{x-}/{a-}{5-}{9-}{8-}/{x-}

Jason Mercier was a late entry into the tournament and took down a big pot on the first hand he played.

Mercier called a bet from Rafael Lebron on fifth street before he led out on sixth. Lebron called, then called another bet on seventh.

"Wheel," Mercier announced, turning over {4-}{5-}{a-}.

"Welcome to the game," a tablemate told Mercier after the hand.

Defending champion Benny Glaser made it to Day 2 with only 21,000, while Phil Hellmuth brings up the rear of the field with 12,500.

Late registration is still open until the start of Day 2, so the field could potentially grow larger. The final prize pool and payouts will be announced shortly after.

The schedule calls for seven 90-minute levels to be played today, with a 60-minute dinner break after Level 14, which should come around 8:30 p.m. Play will pick up on Level 11 with limits of 4,000/8,000.

PokerNews will be on hand throughout the day as the field plays down to the money and then the final table.
