King of the Mountain

Jon Friedberg moved all in for roughly 18,000 before Michael Rofman moved in over the top for around 60,000. Daniel Negreanu then put all his chips at risk and the three players turned their cards on their backs.

Friedberg: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Rofman: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Negreanu: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The flop came down {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Negreanu was sitting pretty with his kings. The turn {k-Diamonds} solidified it for Negreanu and the river fell the {3-Clubs}.

Friedberg was sent to the pay desk while Negreanu chipped up to 122,000 and Rofman dropped to around 9,000.

Schussler and Negreanu Tangle Again

From under the gun, Daniel Negreanu made it 5,600. It folded around to Sarah Schussler on the button who moved in for 66,800.

"Give it a count, cause I'm probably going to play," Negreanu said to the dealer. When the dealer counted 67,000, Negreanu said, "Let's see what this will do to me," and starts counting his chips.

"Almost half my stack. I think you have ace-king but I'm going to let you have it," he said and folded {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} face-up.

Schussler showed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} to which Negreanu said, "Aces, I think you had me beat."
