A Quick Step and Nanos Takes a Back Step

We have just had one of the most important hands of this final table so far. Konstantinos Nanos opened for 205,000 and Team Pokerstars Pro Daniel Negreanu three-bet from the Blinds making it 555,000 for Nanos to play and he made the call.

Flop: {4-Spades} {q-Hearts} {3-Spades}

Negreanu bet 400,000 and Nanos very quickly took two towers of his 25k orange chips and attempted to shove them into the middle. As he did this one of the towers crumbled at exactly the same time he announced "one million." Negreanu immediately declared that he was all-in.

The Tournament Director decided that the bet was confirmed as 775,000. This was later changed to 800,000 after Negreanu intervened. Nanos looked like he was in a world of hurt while Negreanu started singing We Will Rock You.

"This is fun." said Negreanu. I don't think Nanos agreed.

Nanos after a very long pause eventually folded showing {a-} {q-} for top pair. Negreanu showed the solitary {k-Spades} and takes over the chip lead.
