Negreanu Eliminates May

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

A player under the gun raised to 4,300. Daniel Negreanu called from the button and Benjamin May called from the small blind.

The flop ran out {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and May bet 4,000. The player under the gun folded and Negreanu moved all in for over 100,000. May made the call to put himself at risk for elimination. Negreanu turned up {j-Spades}{7-Spades} and May turned up {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

The {j-Hearts} hit on the turn and the {5-Spades} hit on the river to send May to the rail.

Negreanu now sits with around 185,000 in chips.
