Negreanu Drops

Shulman raised to 200,000 from the button and Negreanu made it 600,000. Call. Interesting...

But both players checked the {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} board all the way down, and Shulman turned over {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} to take the pot. Negreanu seems to have showed, but woefully we couldn't see his hand from the bloggers' perch.

Negreanu drops right back down to 2.835 million.

Hand With Notable Differences From Last 30

A pretty big pot just grew between the sole survivors of this WSOPE Main Event, and it had a twist in its tail which saw Daniel Negreanu drop to nearly his lowest chip position since becoming the mid-day leader.

Barry Shulman bet out 200k on a {10-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} flop, which Negreanu called. On the {3-Clubs} turn, Shulman checked, but called quickly when Negreanu bet 300k.

The river brought the {7-Clubs} and two swift checks. When Shulman said, "Seven," and turned over his hand - {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} - Negreanu winced and shook his head, in the manner of someone to whom the river had not been kind.

More Detail on Next Three Hands

1. Walk for Barry Shulman. Unusual for this heads up, actually, for either player to get a walk.

2. Shulman raises on the button, Negreanu calls. Both players check until the river with the board then standing {5-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} at which point Negreanu bets out 200k, and Shulman folds.

3. Negreanu raises on the button and then wins the pot with a bet on the {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {10-Spades} flop.

Shulman Getting the Best of the Cagey Start

It looks like they're getting used to flat calling each other's raise from the button - just now when Daniel Negreanu raised it seemed that Barry Shulman's chips were in the pot as fast as the raiser's. Both players checked the {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} flop, and Shulman proceeded to take it down with a bet on the {4-Clubs} flop. Again, no thinking time noted, just decisiondecisiondecision next hand.

First Three Hands

1) Shulman raises. Negreanu folds.

2) They make it to a {J-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Spades} flop. Shulman bets, Negreanu calls. Then they see a {5-Diamonds} turn. Shulman bets what looks like 500,000 from here, and Negreanu folds.

3) Shulman raises and Negreanu calls. Negreanu then checks the {2-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {7-Hearts} flop and Shulman bets. Negreanu folds.

Negreanu is down well below the 3 million mark.
