Negreanu Lands One-Two Punch, Eliminates Hollink and Talebi

This was one nasty hand.

On a flop of {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {4-Spades} Rob Hollink checked, Daniel Negreanu bet 10,000, Rodeen Talebi moved all in, Hollink called all in and Negreanu called as well.

Talebi {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts}

Hollink {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Negreanu {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} {3-Spades}

Hollink flopped top set, Talebi top two pair and the nut flush draw, and Negreanu a wrap and a flush draw.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, Negreanu hitting his straight and taking the lead. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Negreanu's hand held up. He dragged the pot, eliminating both Hollink and Talebi.

Dwan Quietly Adds to Stack

An interesting hand just took place between Tom "Durrrr" Dwan and Ted Lawson. With no preflop raising, the flop came {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Dwan checked, Lawson bet 7,000, and Dwan called.

The turn was the {J-Hearts}. Dwan again checked, Lawson bet 21,000, and Dwan shoved his remaining 58,600. Lawson went into the tank. After a couple of minutes, he looked at Dwan and said "Talk, say something." Dwan remained silent and motionless.

Lawson finally folded, showing two of his cards -- {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} -- as he did. Lawson is at 125,000, while Dwan now has 95,000.
