Where's Your Hair?
I guess the Daniel Negreanu level continues with this clip-it from his table.
"Are you Ashman?" asked Daniel Negreanu in the direction of Ashton Griffin.
"Yeah" he responded.
"I thought I played with an Ashman. They said Ashman was pretty good and I won, I was proud of myself!" added Negreanu.
"Didn't you used to have hair before?" asked Negreanu.
"Yeah long hair" replied Griffin.
"Get sick of it?"
"Yeah"
"Going with the prison look?" added Negreanu as the table laughed along with his joke.
Why Can't We Be Friends?
There are two Team PokerStars Pros at Table 103 in the Pavilion Room. Andre Akkari (Brazil) and Darus Suharto (Canada) are seated next to one another and butted heads recently when Akkari raised to 600 from the button and Suharto called from the small blind.
The two checked the hand down and the board ran 
.
Akkari opened 
for just a pair of threes and Suharto mucked. The two laughed at the fact that a lowly pair pair of threes took the pot down.
"Hey," a player at the table griped. "No friends at the table."
Chen Doubles
Bill Chen was all in holding two black aces against Nicolas Levi's 
. The board ran 
and Chen doubled to 7,000.
Jaka Doubles
After three-betting Faraz Jaka, Daniel Negreanu was faced with an all in from Jaka.
Negreanu thought for a little before making the call tabling his 
to be in a race against Jaka's 
.
The board ran out 
to see Jaka double through to 14,800 as Negreanu slips to 11,500 in chips.
Sabat Survives
Eddy Sabat opened to 600 from under the gun only to have an opponent on the button three-bet to 1,600 from the button.
Sabat pushed in the last of his chips - roughly 2,800 - and his opponent made the call.
Sabat: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
to give Sabat a flush, and the double to 6,000 in chips.
Negreanu KO's Barnum
Doug Barnum opened to 1,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Daniel Negreanu who re-raised to 2,000 on the button. The blinds released and Barnum moved all in. Negreanu snap-crackle-pop called opening 
. Barnum tabled .
The board ran 
and Negreanu eliminated Barnum chipping up to 14,000.
Gag Rule
The board read when Mike "Gags30" Gagliano moved all in. His opponent called and Gagliano opened 
.
His opponent didn't muck though, instead he sweated his cards for a bit and flashed the .
"I could be slow rolling you," he said with a grin.
"That's fine," Gagliano shrugged. "I'll just go home and play online."
His opponent eventually mucked, and Gagliano took down the pot to double to 25,000.
Franklin Doubles Through Negreanu
Tom Franklin opened to 600 from under the gun and Daniel Negreanu made the call from the big blind to see a flop fall.
Negreanu checked and Franklin fired out 800 only to have Negreanu check-raise to 2,800.
Franklin made the call to see the 
fall on the turn as Negreanu moved all in. Franklin deliberated for several moments before making the call.
Negreanu: 
Franklin:
The river fell the 
to gift Franklin the double to over 34,000 as Negreanu slips to 7,650 in chips.
