Negreanu Hits a Six to Survive

[user25067]

Daniel Negreanu (X)(X) {2-?}

(X)
Hanno Offen (X)(X) {4-?}

(X)
Jeff Lisandro (X)(X) {6-?}

(X)

Daniel Negreanu was all in on fifth street for his remaining 6,000 in a three-way pot with Hanno Offen and Jeff Lisandro, who continued betting on the side. Lisandro led out on sixth street and Offen called, but Offen folded to Lisandro's seventh street bet.

Lisandro turned over {2-?}

for a 6-5-4-3-2 low. Negreanu turned over {7-?}

and with all the fours in the deck already out, Negreanu needed, as Norman Chad might say, "a six and a six only" to survive.

Negreanu peeled up his down card revealing... a six! With three sixes already dead, it was a one outer for Negreanu, making him a 6-5-3-2-A low to earn him the 20,000 pot.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated

[user25067]

Daniel Negreanu's stack succumbed to David Chiu, when he bricked out and made a Q-9 low to Chiu's 8-7 low.

Though he'll miss out on some POY points in this event, he still has two to play today-- the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em and the $2,500 Omaha 8 or Better.
