Didier Pitcho opened to 13,000 from under the gun, Daniel Negreanu called on his direct left, and German Simon Dansker defended out of the big blind.

The flop fell {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Dankster checked, and Pitcho continued for 14,000. Only Negreanu called.

The turn was the {j-Spades}, Pitcho opted to check, and Negreanu quickly fired 31,000. Pitcho called.

The {8-Hearts} completed the board, Pitcho checked again, and Negreanu flipped forward 58,000. Pitcho quickly check-raised to 118,000, prompting Negreanu to rip his cards off of the felt and hold them in his face.

Kid Poker looked at his {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}, looked at the board, then returned his attention to his hand once again. Finally, he called, and Pitcho showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

"You don't win," Negreanu said, tabling his hand for all to see.

The two chopped the pot, much to the relief of the Team PokerStars Pro.
