Negreanu:
Adeniya:

Negreanu was ahead with the best hand while Watson was in need of some major help. The flop was fairly uneventful, and the turn left Watson drawing dead. Adeniya could still win the pot with the case queen on the river, but it was not mean to be as the peeled off.

Sorel Mizzi

Jason Somerville made the call from the button, but Daniel Negreanu wasn't content and made it 20,200 to go from the small blind. Mizzi responded with another raise to 36,200, Somerville folded, and Negreanu raised enough to put Mizzi all in. After a call, the cards were turned up:

Mizzi:
Negreanu:

It was the "oh-so-common" race that we've grown accustomed to in all-in preflop situations. With Mizzi's tournament life on the line, the flop came down , leaving Negreanu wanting. The turn changed nothing, and neither did the river as Mizzi survived to play another hand.

Chris Oliver

Action folded to Chris Oliver in the cutoff and he put in a standard raise. Brandon Adams was in the big blind and pushed back with a reraise. Back and forth it went until Adams found himself all in for right around 110,000.

Adams:
Oliver:

Adams was in great shape to double, but Oliver had been known to get lucky a time or two before. As it turned out, this was one of those times as the flop delivered him a set. The turn left Adams drawing to a queen on the river, but it was the card of death. Oliver is now the new chip leader.
