Negreanu fired out 210,000, and then Haxton asked for Negreanu to show.
"Why? I never do that," Negreanu laughed. He then tabled the much to the amusement of the entire table. "Once in a blue moon you have to steam."
Lo Shing Fung decided to limp from early position and Chistoph Vogelsang raised to 35,000 from the hijack. Igor Kurganov was in the small blind and he cold four-bet to 115,000. Fung took some time to relinquish his investment but fold he did.

The following action took several minutes to play out as they both checked the turn and saw a river card now putting four spades out there. A check from Kurganov and a 200,000 bet from Vogelsang brought a close to the hand as the pot was pushed the way of the Vogelsang.
As we detailed earlier Gus Hansen was a newcomer to the Super High Roller today, taking a seat with 250,000 chips some eight levels after everyone else. It had looked like a brilliant decision, especially after he doubled-up through Isaac Haxton, whose aces were undone by Hansen’s flopped straight.
But, the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Whether your interpretation of that quote is from Lao Tzu, or from Blade Runner, it seems to sum up Gus Hansen’s day perfectly, or more accurately, his early afternoon, as the PokerStars Blog reports.
