We spoke with five members of the team to get their thoughts on who will be the big winners, how many entries the WSOP Online Main Event will get and of course, the most important question, how will Daniel Negreanu fare?
After a raise from big stack Kevin Martin, Fabiano "MarkyAurelio" Kovalski moved all in for his final 33,000 and change. Martin call with pocket fours, and he was flipping against Kovalki's . Kovalski shot out to the lead on the flop, and Martin wasn't able to catch a four or five to improve, putting a small dent into his stack.

Peter Chen shoved his final 71,000 into the middle holding , and overall chip leader Mikita Badziakouski put him at risk holding . The five would hold up on the flop, but the on the turn quickly flipped the script.
Badziakouski would need one of the two remaining fives to win now, but a three came instead, giving Chen a nice double up.
