Daniel Negreanu Bets Big on Himself for the Poker Masters

Level 4 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daniel Negreanu was the first player of the Poker Masters to visit the payout desk after he finished in eighth place in Event #1 early Thursday morning for $102,000. It might not have been the finish he hoped for, but it also means he’s the first player on the leader board for the Poker Masters Purple Jacket™.

Aldemir Turns Broadway

Level 3 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 4,000 from the button and Rainer Kempe called from the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Kempe check-called a bet of 2,500 from Aldemir.

The turn was the {k-Spades} and Kempe checked again. Aldemir made a bet of 7,500 and Kempe called to see the {2-Clubs} on the river. Kempe checked for the third time and Aldemir jammed all-in. Kempe instantly called for his remaining 24,000 and showed {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Unfortunately for him, Aldemir tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for Broadway and Kempe was sent to the cash cage to re-enter.
