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.

Fireworks Avoided

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Galen Hall raised to 55,000 to open the pot, and Dan Shak stuck in a bit three-bet in position. Hall didn't like it. "Will you show if I fold?" he asked.

We didn't hear Shak's answer, but Hall open-mucked pocket jacks, and Shak flashed ace-king as he dragged the chips. Both men seemed content with the result.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 5th Place ($250,900)

Daniel Negreanu - 5th place
Daniel Negreanu - 5th place

Viktor Blom raised to 52,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu shoved for 687,000 from the small blind. Blom called and it was off to the races.

Negreanu: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Blom: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades} flop was not much help to Negreanu, nor was the {6-Clubs} turn card. The river was out of our camera view, but we have it on good authority that it was non-king paint, eliminating Negreanu in fifth place.
