A few hands later, Benyamine lost 600,000 after calling a preflop raise and folding on the flop.
Benyamine raised to 175,000 on the button and Adam Hourani made the call. The flop came down QJ9 and Hourani checked. Benyamine moved all in and Hourani instantly called, showing A-Q-Q-10. Benyamine sheepishly turned over A-A-10-9 and needed some help. The turn and river came 38 and Benyamine was eliminated in third place.
Phil Galfond - 4.1 million

The flop came J103 and Benyamine bet 55,000. Galfond called and Chan called all in. Benyamine and Galfond then checked down the 8A turn and river and Benyamine revealed aces up to take the pot and eliminate Chan in fourth place.
Phil Galfond has over half of the chip in play, but nobody is short stacked and play could last awhile. All three players are patiently biding their time, and there have been numerous walks and preflop steals.

Negreanu called and the flop came Q83. Negreanu checked and Hourani moved all in for 110,000. Negreanu made the call. The suits weren't shown, but Negreanu had 8-7-6-5 and Hourani revealed A-A-4-5. The turn and river came 103 and Hourani doubled up to nearly 400,000. Negreanu was left with just over 115,000.
On a flop of 1085 Negreanu got it all in against Galfond. Negreanu had 10-9-7-6 for the wrap draw and top pair and he was up against Galfond's K-J-10-9, top and an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the K and Negreanu needed help and he got it when the river was the 4 and he made his straight. He doubled up to 200,000.
Hellmuth got his last 200,000 in against David Benyamine preflop. Hellmuth held AK104 but was in terrible shape against Benyamine's AAK4. The board offered no help and Hellmuth was eliminated in eighth place.
Negreanu found himself all in against Galfond on the short stack. Negreanu held KKJ5, but he was up against AA22. The flop came 975 giving Galfond the nut flush, but the turn was the K giving Negreanu outs to a boat. The river was the 2 and Negreanu was eliminated in seventh place.
Chan completed from the small blind and Juanda checked his option. The flop came 982 and Chan bet 48,000. Juanda reraised to 196,000 and Chan put him all in. Juanda called showing K1097 but was behind to Chan's 10982. The turn and river came 72 and Juanda was eliminated in sixth place. NOTE: The players then went on a 30-minute break.

The blinds are beggining to get a bit high, but only Phil Hellmuth is feeling desperate at the moment.
Coming in as one of the chip leader didn't mean much as Brian Rast was the first to go. Rast had terrible luck at the final table, and it continued at the hands of Johnny Chan. Negreanu limped, Rast raised to 70,000 on the button and Chan called in the big blind. The flop came J43 and Chan checked. Rast bet 126,000 and Chan moved in. Rast made the call for his tournament life and revealed J1076 for top pair, a flush draw, a back door flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. Chan showed A979 for a lower pair, a better flush draw and not much else. Of course, against Rast the turn and river came QA to give Chan the pot with a lowly pair of aces. Rast was eliminated in ninth place.
With the elimination of Rast, Daniel Negreanu has officially made a profit in this tournament. He was in for $85,000 in rebuys, and is now guaranteed to walk away with about $15,000.

Benyamine checked his option and the flop came K64. Hellmuth checked and Benyamine bet 25,000. Hellmuth made the call and the turn was the Q. Hellmuth moved all in and Benyamine made the call. Hellmuth revealed K-Q-9-7 for top two pair and Benyamine was behind with K-6-4-3 for a small kings up. The river was the Q and Hellmuth doubled up to around 240,000.
Rast raised to 48,000 under the gun and Johnny Chan reraised the pot to 168,000. Rast moved him all in and Chan called. Rast showed down AA54and Chan showed....AA92. The flop came down Q102 and what looked like a chop turned into nearly a freeroll for Rast. The turn was the 4 but the river was the 2 giving Chan trip twos and the entire pot to double up to 1.2 million. We can't tell with all that black on, but it looks like Hellmuth is starting to sweat just a little bit.
Brian Rast just can't catch a break. He raised to 34,000 and Hellmuth moved all in for 66,000. Rast called and showed down the best hand once again with AA22. Hellmuth needed a little help with KK54. The board ran out J88KJ and Hellmuth caught a king on the turn to stay alive and keep his 12th bracelet hopes alive. Rast, who has been berated by Hellmuth for his "awful" play thus far, is doing his best to not get frustrated.
