Daniel Negreanu has been eliminated in 25th place by Frank Kassela, and we are now redrawing to three tables. When we arrived at the table, the hands looked like this:
Negreanu:
Kassela:
On seventh, Negreanu was dealt paint - a queen would've given him a full house - but it was a meaningless , and Kid Poker was eliminated just short of the redraw.

Ashton Griffin was late from dinner, yet he still brought it in with the . Ellis completed, Seiver and Zintel both called, and Griffin's hand was mucked. All three players checked on fourth street, and on fifth the action checked to Zintel. He bet, and only Seiver called.
The pair checked on sixth, then Seiver folded to a bet on seventh.
While this hand was going down, both Calvin Anderson and Konstantin Puchkov were eliminated with unknown action.
The cards are back in the air here in the Stud Championship, and the players have been moved across to Amazon Blue where every table has an automatic shuffler.
We reached the action on sixth street, where Zintel led out for a bet. Seiver raised, and Zintel tank-called. Zintel check-called a bet on seventh, and Seiver ripped over for an ace-high flush. Zintel shook his head, then showed for a lesser flush.
"Wow," Seiver said, thoroughly surprised to see the contents of Zintel's hand.
The remaining 28 players are now on a 60-minute dinner break. We'll see you then.

We caught up with the action on fifth street, where Seiver led out for a bet. Zintel tank-called, while Griffin was a little bit quicker in getting his chips in the middle. Seiver paired his nine on sixth, and fired out another bet. Zintel and Griffin called once again.
Seiver fired one last bullet on seventh, but this time he received no callers, winning the pot without a showdown.
