. Small blind John Juanda bets out 70,000, and picks up only Sonnert along for the ride to the 
turn. They both decline to bet this card, and on the 
river too - it turns out that when they turn their hands over the dealer immediately sets to work dividing the pot in half. I may be far away, but I would still be able to ascertain aces by their distinctive shape, so I am going to bet heavily on their both holding the eight for sevens full.
board and Johnny Lodden bet 10,000; Elliott promptly raised to 35,000. After a moment's pause, Lodden tossed the extra 25,000 chip in.Come the
river and Elliott bet out 50,000. Lodden carefully counted out the call in 5,000 chips and pushed them into the middle, but mucked when Elliott turned over 
for a flopped two pair.
flop, everything was looking rosy for Ivan Demidov, and rosy it stayed all the way down. Things are looking much less rosy for Philippe Rouas now, as he is down to 150,000.Rouas:

All three players check.Turn:
Negreanu bets out 40,000. Juanda slowly makes the call, and then Shakerchi, even more slowly, follows suit.River:
Negreanu now checks. Juanda methodically sets out 55,000. Over to Shakerchi, who makes the call. Back to Negreanu, who starts talking to himself again, ending with the audible, "Maybe eight," pointing at Juanda, and then, "Maybe flush," pointing at Shakerchi. He passes.Juanda shows
for the straight, as predicted by Negreanu, but Shakerchi then mucks his hand, not as predicted. An audible sigh from the Canadian, who says, "I had the eight. You cost me a split! I knew you [Juanda] were value betting..."
flop, though, was enough to make Negreanu pass.
was up against Negreanu's . But a 
board later, and to applause from the rail, he had kicked the tournament bucket in 17th place.
Flop:
Everybody checked.Turn:
Check to Smith, who bet what looked like 75,000. Over to Negreanu, who considered for what turned out to be a comparatively short while before moving all in. Alekhin passed, but Smith now sat for upwards of five minutes, hands clasped.At first Negreanu made some effort at chatting, but after a while just sat there, resting head on hand, staring into the middle distance. Other players at the table got up and stretched their legs, or stared at what was going on on the other table, but all Smith did was say, "That's a really big bet." It was 200,000 more for him to call - an amount which makes a considerable difference. Just when it looked like the whole table was going to drift off, literally, he passed, and Negreanu stacked his new chunkier stack.
. Demidov checked and Keston bet 25,000. After a quick peek down at his hole cards, Demidov called. The turn was the and Demidov checked again; this time Keston upped the bet to 80,000. Demidov seemed to be seriously considering a call -- he got as far as counting out the requisite 80,000 and setting it to one side -- but eventually folded.
