Overview

  • Defending champion Daniel Negreanu was knocked out by 17-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth with a Queen-high flush in pot-limit Omaha.
  • Hellmuth’s run ended when Chris Vitch bested him in a Razz showdown and sent the Poker Brat to the rail.
  • After 67 hands of hand-for-hand play, a 3-hour 52-minute bubble was burst by Yeh’s flush over Chris Klodnicki’s two pair.
  • Yeh bagged a tournament-high 7,935,000 chips to assume the Day 3 lead heading into Day 4.
  • Seventeen players will return with a minimum payout of $100,000 as they resume play to reach the final five.
