Negreanu's Set is Good Against Seiver

Will Shillibier

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Daniel Negreanu took a break from broadcasting on poker streaming site Twitch to join the cast of professionals playing the €25k High Roller.

In one of his first hands he bet 12,000 on a board which read .

"I suppose I'll call, and then call on the river if I have to," said Scott Seiver, throwing in the chips for the call.

On the river, Negreanu shoved for his remaining 28,100 chips, and, true to his word, Seiver made the call.

Negreau tabled for a set of nines and it was good enough to take down the pot. He's now sitting on nearly double starting stack.

Dayan Surges Up the Leaderboard

Chad Holloway

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

David Dayan in earlier action - €50,000 Super High Roller

David Dayan had a rough start to the day, promptly busting his first bullet. The second is going much, much better.

We're not sure how the Brazilian amassed such a big stack, but we do know he is dragging in a lot of pots.

Most recently there was around 5,000 in the pot and a board reading when Dayan checked from the big blind and Martin Jacobson bet 3,000 from the hijack. Dayan woke up with a check-raise to 9,000, Jacobson called, and the two watched the complete the board on the river.

Dayan returned to checking, and Jacobson took the bait by betting 10,000. Dayan once again check-raised, this time to 30,000, and Jacobson quickly released his hand.

Celestino Busted in Three-Way All In

mnuwwarah

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ariel Celestino put in his last 9,300 from the hijack, and Piotr Franczak called after some thought in the small blind. Big blind Adolfo Vaeza shoved as well for 32,000, and Franczak made a call he clearly wasn't happy about.

Franczak:
Vaeza:
Celestino:

Everyone was suited, but it was a pair that grabbed the lead as flopped to give Celestino the lead. A turn put things in favor of Franczak, but the river meant Vaeza hit the nut flush.
