Team PokerStars Pro Negreanu Enters

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,200 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has just entered the tournament room at the Casino Barcelona to take his seat in the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller.

Negreanu opted to skip the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller two days ago to play the EPT Barcelona Main Event and progressed to Day 2. But unfortunately for the Canadian, his day didn't last long when his opponent called his all in and came from behind to hit a flush to eliminate Negreanu.

Negreanu will be hoping the cards run better for him today in the High Roller.

The board was down {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, and Jack Salter bet 21,000 from the hijack. Dan Smith called from the small blind before Daniel Negreanu folded in the big blind.

The river card was the {8-Spades}, and both players opted to check. Smith showed {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two pair, and Salter, who finished in 7th place in the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller, mucked.

Adams Doubles Through Malki

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Yaron Zeev Malki raised from the cutoff preflop and only Timothy Adams, who was nursing a short stack on the button, called.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Malki bet before Adams moved all in for around 36,000. Malki made the call and needed to hit to win.

Yaron Zeev Malki: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Timothy Adams: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Adams was ahead with a pair of nines, but Malki held two overcards and the nut flush draw. The {5-Clubs} turn kept Adams in the lead, and he managed to dodge all of Malki's outs on the river and secured a double up when the {6-Clubs} hit.
