Negreanu Eliminated By Timex

We didn’t catch all the action, but we do know that Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu managed to get all in for about 200,000 with the {5-Spades}{3-Spades} on a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and was up against the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} of Mike “Timex” McDonald.

“Uh oh,” Negreanu said, “I only did it because there’s rebuys.”

The {6-Clubs} turn was bad for Negreanu as it improved McDonald to trips, but it’d be the {2-Diamonds} on the river that would improve the latter to a flush even though it made Negreanu's straight.

“I just swapped with ElkY, too,” Negreanu said. “Poor guy. Oh well, I’m going to take a nap.”

Sure enough, Negreanu exited the tournament floor, though it sounded as though he might return later in the day and rebuy.
