Negreanu Vanishes Early On

[user38873]

Nível 16 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu was spotted on the way out of the tournament area, recording for his vlog on the phone and mentioning that he had busted. According to his former table mates, Jon Turner had taken most of Negreanu's chips in Limit Omaha High and the remainder of his stack then vanished in a Badugi hand.

Turner gave away most of the chips to Joshua Rhodes thereafter, who appears to be the current chip leader.

Dealt Quads for Elezra; Salazar Busts After the Bubble

[user38873]

Nível 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

5 Card Draw

Amnon Filippi was the first player out in the money and Hernan Salazar followed shortly after. A short-stacked Salazar was already at risk and got called by Kevin Gerhart and Eli Elezra. Salazar discarded three while Gerhart and Elezra took one card each.

Elezra then bet 42,000 and Gerhart moved all-in, earning a snap-call by Elezra within a fraction of a second.

"Quads!" Elezra immediately announced and rolled over the before then adding "sorry Hernan, I got dealt quads with a jack". The cards of Salazar were almost instantly mucked and Gerhart exposed for two pair and paid off the 120,000 of Elezra.

Big O

The short stack of Mike Thorpe went into the middle preflop and he was looked up by Eli Elezra.

Mike Thorpe:
Eli Elezra:

"Don't do this, don't you dare to knock out Mike," Elezra said to the dealer. The flop and turn provided some threat and sure enough, Elezra got there with the river. "Sorry, they fucked you Mike."

The atmosphere on Day 2 has certainly been very jovial with plenty of banter and jokes thrown around between the mixed game regulars.

2-7 Triple Draw

A massive three-way pot has sent Ray Henson over the million chip mark.

Before the first draw, Henson raised in the cutoff, Eli Elezra called in the small blind, and Naoya Kihara made it three bets from the big blind. Henson and Elezra called.

Elezra drew two, Kihara patted, and Henson drew two.

Kihara bet and both of his opponents called.

The second draw saw Elezra and Henson each take one card, while Kiyara patted again.

Again, Kiyara bet, but this time was raised by Henson. Elezra weighed his optioned, then folded.
