Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

An unfortunate situation occured for Japan's Yurina Omuro after she got her stack of around 75,000 in the middle with a premium hand, but ran into a better one.

Yurina Omuro: K♠K♣ All in
Luke Blindert: A♠A♣

Even Omuro's suits were covered and the runout of 6♠9♣J♣9♦4♥ meant she was eliminated in the opening level of Day 3.

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 20,000 already in the pot and the board showing 4♠5♦8♦A♣, Dietrich Fast checked to Stephane Revelly, who bet 8,500. Fast took his time before raising to 28,000, which Revelly called after evaluating Fast's stack.

The dealer revealed the 9♣ on the river, and Fast bet 10,000, which Revelly promptly called. Fast showed 4♣4♦ for a set of fours, winning the pot before the table broke and the players were moved elsewhere.

Mark Taylor opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from early position before Justin Shelton three-bet to 16,000 on the button. Taylor wanted to play for more and bumped it up to 40,000 but was disgusted to see Shelton move all in for 146,500.

After a short tank, Taylor decided against in and mucked his cards, saving himself nearly 100,000 chips.

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The player under the gun had gone all in for just 6,500 chips and was looked up by Daniel Negreanu on the button.

Under the gun: A♦4♦ All in
Daniel Negreanu: A♠J♣

Negreanu was rooting for a chop on the 6♣6♥K♦ board and was elated when his opponent paired up on the 4♠ turn.

The J♥ then came on the river. "Oh shit," said Negreanu as he raked in the pot and eliminated his opponent.

After the hand, Negreanu and the knocked-out player took a picture together, with the latter leaving in seemingly good spirits.
