The flop brought 
and Dansker checked to Ummer who bet 19,500. Juanda put in a raise from the button to around 65,000 after which Dansker moved all in from the small blind. Dansker had both players covered but Ummer did not hesitate one second before committing his 140,000-chip stack.
With Ummer all in Juanda had an even bigger decision as he was risking his tournament life against two players in case he decided to play. About 20 seconds later Juanda decided to call and a three-way showdown was upon us.

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu talks as much as he raises but just now he decided to give one up. We caught the action on the flop when Negreanu bet 16,500 after Matthew Ashton had checked. Negreanu was chatting to Ashton the entire time while the Brit tried to maintain his straight face.
Ashton ultimately called after which the turn brought the . Ashon checked again and Negreanu said, "Let's try something goofy now," as he threw out 29,500. Ashton tanked again after which he made the call.
