Nível 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Brek Schutten raised to 35,000 from early position before Daniel Negreanu, in the cutoff, three-bet to 130,000. Matthew Fields called in the big blind, while Schutten got out of the way.

The flop came 10♦A♦4♣ and Negreanu continued for 80,000. Fields quickly called and checked the A♥ turn.

Negreanu bet another 200,000, Fields moved all in for around 350,000, and Negreanu snap-called with A♠K♣ for trip aces.

"Motherf**ker," Fields said as he showed A♣Q♣. The river came the 5♣ and Fields was sent to the rail.

"Sorry buddy. Nothing you can do once the ace comes," Negreanu told him.

"I almost didn't play it," Fields replied on his way to the exit.

Daniel Rezaei began the day as chip leader but had been knocked down to just 40,000 when he moved all in from under the gun. Action folded to Sean Winter in the big blind.

"Let's see if I can beat king-five," Winter said as he looked at his hand. "No. I'm going to fold," he added as he mucked J♥5♥.

"That's so f**king spooky," Rezaei said as, sure enough, he did flip over Kx5x.

"He's done that to me so many times," tablemate Dan Colpoys added.

"Hah, I had the computer hand, Q♥7♠." said Riordan. The computer hand's flopped two pair was good enough to beat Lichtenberger's pair of aces and double up Riordan.

"Ace-king," Lin asked as he mucked. "Ay, ay, ay, show one time," he added as Halverson returned his cards face down to the dealer.

"Ace-queen right in the muck. What a tight player," tablemate Justin Saliba said to Lin after the hand.

"I folded ace-queen. I folded the best hand," Lin replied as he began slapping his hand.

Nível 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

George Wolff raised to 25,000 from the under the gun before Sam Soverel moved all in for 247,000 next to act. Action folded to Espen Jorstad in the small blind and he reshoved.

Wolff, with around 350,000 behind, went through three time bank cards before letting out a deep sigh and folding.

Sam Soverel: 10♣10♠
Espen Jorstad: A♠Q♣

Soverel was racing for his tournament life and remained in front on the 2♦4♠4♦6♥8♥ board to double through the Main Event champion.

Wolff later admitted he would've been second best. "I beat his hand," he told Soverel, saying he would've beaten Jorstad.

Nível 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Samuel Laskowitz raised to 20,000 from early position and Andrew Lichtenberger called from the big blind. Lichtenberger checked when the flop came J♦5♦10♥, Laskowitz bet 18,000, and Lichtenberger called.

Lichtenberger checked again when the K♣ hit the turn, leading Laskowitz to bet 53,000, eliciting a call from Lichtenberger.

The 5♣ came on the river. Lichtenberger checked to Laskowitz, who bet 140,000, then cinched his brown hoodie and burrowed deep inside. Lichtenberger gave the bet a long consideration from inside his orange hoodie before mucking.

Brek Schutten raised to 25,000 from the button and Daniel Negreanu called in the small blind. Jimmy D'Ambrosio, from the big blind, then moved all in for around 105,000, Schutten reraised, and Negreanu got out of the way.

"Protection," D'Ambrosio said as he turned over A♥8♠. Schutten had K♣Q♦ and needed to improve to secure the knockout but found no help on the 10♥3♠3♦5♠7♥ board as D'Ambrosio doubled up.
