I just got back from the Bellagio at about 8:00 PM....here the update....the tables had just condensed to 4 when they were down to 36 players...i'd say daniel had about 350,000 in chips...probably about average....keep in mind i'm just eyeing his stack..and guestimating...then he lost a decent size pot....on the next hand the pot was raised....and was between daniel and a man to his right...the flop came Kd 9d 4c...i'm not exactly sure how the next round of betting went...i think daniel raised a substantial amount and then after a little deliberation the other guy went all in ....he had daniel covered....daniel didn't really pause at all an he said.."ok, but I need some help"...he turned over a Qd Jd and said out loud he needed a 10"....but obviously everyone new a diamond wouldn't hurt either....so guess what comes on the turn....the 10 of DIAMONDS...Daniel hits a straight flush...and doubles up just before the break...he was elated and now his chip stack looked to be about 550,000 and with about 34 players left he had to be in the top ten...as he was stacking his chips he said he'd been playing cards for 13 years and that was the best hand he'd ever had...other notables still aroundjohnny chan--chip leader i believehoward lederer, still doing welldevilfish-below averagehumberto brenes...about average..and i got the pleasure of watching phil hellmuth go broke...i'm pretty sure pham is out...but i wasn't positive..the place was really crowded but i didn't see him...just thought i'd give ya'll an update.

[wellsie316]

awesome news! This could shape up to be an absolutely fantastic final table with DN, Chan, Lederer and others doing so well.

[BPV]

i think both reports are talking about the same straight flush, or daniels incredibly lucky today. Also, did you happen to get a chip count on juanda?

[Army Eye]

Juanda was knocked out long ago.Hoosier - thanks. No details on how Hellmuth got knocked out?

[HoosierGrady]

i saw hellmuth double up...but he was still low on chips...then he went all-in with two fives and was called by A Q and a queen came...juanda's out..tony G is out...Ram vaswami is out...i'll keep thinkin

[superchuck]

i hope the mob is just pissy since ram is out. alos is thsi goign to be televised and if so, who. i.e. wpt,fsn, or what. thanks for any info.

[ClownfishX]

Hendon Mob reports him at 219K...don't think it's a rumor.

[onthebutton]

Hendon Mob actually reports him at over $1 million. Go back and look again.

[ClownfishX]

I hope its just some idiot posting on there, but this is what I saw:--Previous Message--: daniel negreneau just took 2 huge hits in a row and is down to 219,000: : --Previous Message--: : Daniel is chip leader with $1.1 million...: : Christian Andersson is out in 26th...: : Blinds are now 6k/12k ante 2k: : On Barny's table....: : Barny is on the small blind and in middle position two time world champ: Johnny: Chan makes it 40,000 to go...Barny calls: : the flop comes 9h, 3h 5d and Barny checks...: : Johny bets ... Barny moves and after a long think Johny calls...

Read the more recent posts by Reporter. He says that's complete BS. He's got Daniel still around $1 million in chips. I'm choosing to believe that for now. I'm hoping we'll get it from a more reliable source soon, such as Daniel himself. It sounds like he's playing well.

[onthebutton]

That would be incredible...I'm holding tight waiting for info from Daniel directly to post some updates, of course, like some of you, I too, have one of my screens dedicated to http://www.thehendon...m/forum.php?f=1

[VegasCanadian]

Anyone know what time the tournament might go until??I just got home from work, but wouldn't hesitate to head down there now to catch the end.

[Gator519]

Can't believe how slow people are getting eliminated, everyone must want to be on TV.

[Gator519]

I hear they are going till there is 6 people left, so my guess it'll be going for atleast a couple more hours.
