Duhamel Trips Up Negreanu

Viktor Blom raised to 52,000 from the cutoff. He was called by Daniel Negreanu in the small blind and Jonathan Duhamel in the big blind.

Negreanu checked dark as the {A-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop came down. Duhamel checked as well, only to see Blom bet 86,000. Both of his opponents called, landing the {A-Clubs} on the turn. All three checked to see the {6-Diamonds} river. Negreanu bet a small 100,000, only receiving a call from Duhamel.

"King?" asked Negreanu.

"Ace," replied Duhamel, who showed {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Negreanu couldn't beat it and Duhamel won the pot.

Shak Takes From Duhamel

Jonathan Duhamel raised to 45,000 on the button and Dan Shak three-bet from the small blind to an amount we couldn't quite catch. Duhamel called it and the flop came down {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

Shak checked it to Duhamel who bet 142,000. Shak, though, had other ideas and raised to 500,000. Duhamel gave it up, giving the pot to Shak.

Duhamel Finds a Good Spot

Under the gun, Dan Shak opened to 50,000, and Galen Hall dropped 75,000 into the pot. That was an under-raise, and he was forced to add the extra 5,000 to make it a mini-raise to 80,000. The table folded around to the big blind, and Jonathan Duhamel was thinking sinister thoughts. He stacked out 216,000 and slid it into the pot, and Shak tanked and folded. Hall ducked out too, and Duhamel took it down.

Shak was a bit burned that he wasn't able to stay in. "I was so sure I had you beat," he told Duhamel. "Because he [Hall] meant to call, obviously. You just had to hope I was light."

"It's five-handed though. Anybody can be light," Duhamel quipped back.

"I know," Shak answered. "But I wasn't that light."

Scott Seiver on Day 2
Scott Seiver on Day 2

Scott Seiver min-raised to 40,000 under the gun and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 86,000 in the hijack. Action folded to Galen Hall in the big blind and after a few moments, he four-bet to 218,000.

Seiver shoved for 344,000, getting Negreanu to quickly fold. Hall quickly called and the hands were revealed.

Seiver: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Hall: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Seiver was crushed and found no help from the {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board to hit the rail in sixth place.

Shak Forces Seiver Out

Dan Shak opened to 50,000 under the gun and Galen Hall called in the cutoff. Scott Seiver called on the button and the three of them saw a {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop.

Shak bet 110,000, quickly getting a fold from Hall. Seiver, however, called to see the {2-Hearts} hit the turn. Shak showed no signs of slowing down, betting 150,000. Seiver gave it up, sending the pot Shak's way.

A Bit More For Hall

Viktor Blom raised to 40,000 from the cutoff seat, and Galen Hall three-bet to 90,000 next door in position. Blom matched the bet, and they both checked through the {6-Clubs} {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds} turn.

The {A-Spades} landed on the turn, and 48,000 chips was all Hall needed to force Blom out of the pot.

"Way to smash the turn," Scott Seiver surmised.

Hall is now closing in on 2.5 million chips with 8 million in play.
