"I'm a donk! Yes! I'm a donk!" yelled Vakili, fist pumping before sitting back down in his chair to collect the pot.

Khalil led for 20,000 and Hansimikali made the call only to muck at the sight of Khalil's {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Negreanu Tames "SEABEAST"

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
The beast has been tamed
The beast has been tamed

From under the gun, In Wook Choi raised to 7,000. Daniel Negreanu flat-called from the hijack seat before action folded to Jay "SEABEAST" Kinkade on the button. He reraised to 25,000 and action folded back around to Negreanu. After a little bit of thought, Hollywood-ing perhaps, Negreanu looked at the dealer and announced that he was all in. Kinkade quickly gave another look at his hand and then called, tabling the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Negreanu rolled over the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Negreanu aces held. Kinkade was eliminated as Negreanu tamed the beast and moved to 266,000 in chips.
