Negreanu Finds Quads For a Double Up

Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 33,000 in middle position, Talal Shakerchi called on the button and fellow Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu moved all-in for 352,000 in the big blind. ElkY mucked his hand but Shakerchi made the quick call. When the cards were turned over it was Negreanu in the lead but still the man at risk of elimination.

Negreanu{7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
Shakerchi{A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

Flop: {9-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades}

Negreanu leapt from his chair, "Yes,' he shouted before sitting back down.

Turn: {7-Spades}

Quads for Negreanu and he has doubled up.

River: {10-Spades}

Negreanu now has around 800,000 and Shakerchi is sliding; he now has 1,050,000

Dan Shak: I Feel One Coming

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel raised to 24,000 in the hijack seat, Dan Shak three-bet to 75,000 from the cutoff, Duhamel moved enough red 25k chips into the middle beckoning Shak into an all-in confrontation (500k+) and Shak duly obliged.

Shak{A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}
Duhamel{J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

"I feel one coming," said Shak.

"You feel one coming, shit don't say that Dan," Replied Duhamel.

Flop: {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {3-Spades}

Duhamel had just wished Shak good luck when the ace brought a silence around the table.

Turn: {10-Spades} & River: {10-Hearts}

"I told you I felt one coming," said Shak.

Shak, who has had more ups and downs that a modern day marriage, has just under a million chips whilst Duhamel has 516,000.

Kabrhel in 17th

The tournament is now down to two tables as Martin Kabrhel just busted in 17th place. Action folded to him in the small blind and he raised all in for approximately 75,000. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier called from the big blind and tabled the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Kabrhel held the {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Kabrhel was eliminated.
