After losing a few pots early, Daniel Negreanu appears to have righted the ship.
When one shorty shoved in front of him for a little more than 12,000, he made it 25,000 and forced folds from the rest of the table. Turns out Negreanu's was up against and easily held on the board to push him up the leaderboard a little and send his opponent to the cage.
Now that Phil Hellmuth has a decent stack he is in full flow with his confidence high. He has towers of black T100 chips and declared he liked the feel of all those chips and didn’t want to color up until he had the chip lead.
Hellmuth wandered over to the next table where Daniel Negreanu was sitting and said it would sure be something if they both made the final table, or even better if they were to get heads up.
“We’ve never played heads up.” Negreanu confirmed. There’s a long was to go yet though.
Eddy Sabat is out and after doing the dirty deed, Daniel Negreanu has crested the 100,000-chip mark.
Sabat shoved his last 7,900 in after a couple of limps, including Negreanu. Both players called, but when the flop brought a check from the first one, Negreanu made it 9,000. The caller folded and Negreanu turned over .
Daniel Negreanu and Maria Ho continue to mix it up on the felt. She called a 4,800-chip bet on a flop and the two went heads-up to the turn.
Negreanu checked this time, but called when Ho made it 6,800. He checked again on the river and Ho made it 10,600. Once again, Negreanu called, but was sad to see his had been outdrawn on the turn and the river as Ho's made first a straight then a flush.
Max Silver called a preflop raise of 4,200 from Tom Braband and they went to a flop of .
Silver checked and called a bet of 4,300 from Braband and they went to the turn . Another check from Silver and this time he faced a bet of 6,700. Once more he called and the final card was the .
Braband went for a big 19,000 bet when it was checked to him. Siler thought for over a minute, checking his hole cards a couple of times before folding and giving Braband another decent pot to add to his pile.
