Daniel Negreanu: ratchets the tension
Daniel Negreanu: ratchets the tension

A near-lethal hit for Chance Kornuth as Daniel Negreanu check called 6k on a {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} flop, then after a double check on the {3-Clubs} turn bet 10,500 on the {5-Spades} river. Kornuth made the call but Negreanu's {A-Spades} {3-Spades} was plenty good.

Back to the brink chipwise, and Chance Kornuth again had to survive a cards-on-their-backs preflop moment to stay in the game. He moved in pre with {K-Spades} {7-Spades} and had to suffer a little sweat as Negreanu talked about his requirements for calling while checking his hand one card at a time... "Oh... one is a ten... the other is... a ... call!"

Negreanu's {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} wasn't to hold, however, as Kornuth hit a seven on the flop and a King on the turn to double over 40k and get a little bit of breathing room.
