Thomas Butzhammer was the chip leader at the start of the day and after losing his pole position for quite some time he's now back up among the biggest stacks.
Butzhammer: (X-X) / / (X)
O'Brien: (X-X) / / (X)
On seventh street Butzhammer tanked for a little bit before putting out a bet, which is 12,000 in the current level, and O'Brien went into the tank for a long time.
O'Brien held his up in the air for a queen-five low, and eventually he decided to put in the call. Butzhammer showed for a nine-five low and he raked in this big pot.
Scott Clements and Daniel Harmetz, who was short, just got caught up in a little raising war, which resulted in the latter being all in for his tournament life. The board ran out as following.
Clements: / /
Harmetz: / /
Clements made the winning hand and Harmetz was knocked out.
We're two spots from the money and none other than Daniel Negreanu just took the chip lead after taking a pot off Brian Townsend.
Townsend bet all streets and Negreanu called him down before ultimately raising his opponent's bet on seventh street. Townsend folded his cards and Negreanu took down the pot without showdown.
