Daniel Negreanu hits his flush, but is eliminated
On a [Qs][7h][2h] flop, Daniel Negreanu was all in and was shown the nuts by his opponent. Vinh Pham held [Qc][Qd] for top set, but Daniel taunted him by saying he was live before revealing his [Qh][Th]. Though behind, Daniel was all smiles as the dealer put the [Jc] on the turn. Daniel asked for a heart, and it came on the river, but unfortunately for Daniel it was the [Jh]. Vinh had made a full house and would earn the bounty, increasing his stack to 43,000.

Lily Kiletto gets 2 outed to bust
Lily Kiletto was all in preflop holding [Ah][Kd] and was in good shape to double up against her opponent's [As][Qc]. The [Qs][Jh][Kc] flop was great for Lily, making her an 84% favorite. The turn, however, was a devastating [Qh]. leaving Lily drawing to two kings for the win or a ten to chop. The [9d] was a narrow miss, eliminating Lily and awarding her opponent the bounty.

Day 1B cards are in the air
We're back at it at the Bay 101 Casino, and cards are in the air for Day 1B of the $7,500 Shooting Star. Once again, blinds start at 50/100, and the you can watch our live stream at www.Bay101Live.com.
$2,100 Down to 3 Players
We last reported on the $2,100 Shooting Star when it was six handed. Well, the field has now been trimmed to three. Here were the last three eliminations
4th Place: Nipun Java ($43,170)
5th Place: Derrick Ho ($32,410)
6th Place: Scott Clements ($25,920)
The final three are all guaranteed their seat in the $7,500 Shooting Star event, as well as a cash prize.
When we arrived to count chips, we found Tim West all in against Johnson Liu. Tim held [9s][9c] against Johnson's [Ah][6d]. The [Qh][6h][4d] kept Tim in front, but Johnson had five outs to beat him plus a backdoor flush draw. The [9h] meant that Tim would need to fade a non-pair heart on the river, and he did just that as the [Js] landed on the river.
After that hand, here are updated chip counts for the final three:
Brian Yoon - 1,100,000
Johnson Liu - 1,300,000
Here are the remaining prizes to be played for:
1st Place: $121,710 + $7,500 Shooting Star Seat
2nd Place: $83,180 + $7,500 Shooting Star Seat
3rd Place: $50,820 + $7,500 Shooting Star Seat
