Negreanu Enters
Level 5
7-2
Daniel Negreanu entered the tournament with a computer in hand as he raised from the cutoff which only the small blind called.
The small blind drew two while Negreanu drew one and on the following street the small blind check-called a bet from Negreanu.
The next draw saw the small blind draw one while Negreanu drew the same and the same betting action repeated.
The small blind drew one more and Negreanu stood pat which saw the small blind said "check," to which Negreanu checked behind.
"What do I have to beat," asked the small blind.
"I have a ten," replied Negreanu who turned over 10♣8♦7♣4♦3♥. The small blind turned over 6♥5♠3♣2♦ and looked at his final card, but tossed it and his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to the six-time bracelet winner.

Monnette Gets Revenge
Level 5
A-5 Triple Draw
Picking up the action on the first draw, John Monnette in the small blind was involved in a hand with Shaun Deeb in the big blind and a player on the button. Monette took two on the first draw while Deeb and the button player chose to take one. Monnette then checked, prompting Deeb to bet. Both the button player and Monnette called to send action to the second draw.
All three players took one card on the second draw. Monnette then checked for a second time and Deeb, in no mood to slow down, tossed out a bet. That got a fold from the button player but Monnette was not going anywhere just yet and made the call.
The last draw saw Monnette take one more card and Deeb stand pat. Monnette then led out, getting a quick call from Deeb, who mucked after Monnette showed down 6x5x3x2xAx. "That's revenge" said Monnette, who told the table that Deeb had just knocked him out of an online tournament, presumably Online Event #9: $1,000 PLO Championship.
