Ace High No Good for Gury

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Rens Feenstra
Rens Feenstra

Benoit Gury opened in the small blind and got a call in the big blind from Rens Feenstra in the big blind. They saw a flop of {4-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Gury quickly threw out a bet of 95000, Feenstar smooth called. A turn of {6-Spades} and Gury elected to check but then called a bet of 150,000 from Feenstra. They both checked the river {10-Diamonds} and Gury said “Ace high.” Feenstra wasnted to see his hand though so he turned over his {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Feenstra showed the pretty {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and his pair was good.

Tilt Tackled, It's a New Start for Negreanu

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

It was a dark and stormy afternoon…. So went the story of Daniel Negreanu's first elimination from the EPT10 Barcelona High Roller yesterday. But after re-entering last night his prospects in the event are now shining brightly. Appropriately, Negreanu spoke with Sarah Grant today about the topic of dealing with and coming back from tilt. See it at the PokerStars Blog.

Kurko Five-Bet Shoves to Perfection

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Madis Müür opened the action for 80,000 under the gun and received a call from Kimmo Kurko in the hijack. When action reached Nicolau Villa-Lobos in the small blind, he thought for a few moments before three-betting to 275,000.

Not to be outdone, Müür four-bet to 525,000. Kurko then grabbed his entire stack of approximately 2.8 million and slid it into the middle. Lobos quickly folded and Müür did the same.
