Negreanu and Shulman: In Gritty Black and White
Negreanu and Shulman: In Gritty Black and White
So, all in preflop, pair vs. pair, as one might expect, Daniel Negreanu, having come full circle back to short stack, had his tournament life on the line one more time.

Negreanu: {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds}
Shulman: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds} straight out on the flop brought a groan from the Negreanu supporters, and the rest of the board got him drawing dead by the turn: {2-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} . But both players were thoroughly applauded as the final hurdle was leaped.

Daniel Negreanu might have come so close only to miss out on the bracelet, but knowing that he's now topping the All-Time Money List must, surely, be some consolation for when he goes home and googles himself. That in itself is an achievement stretching beyond this one, admittedly highly prestigious, tournament.
