Trips for Negreanu

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

From the cutoff, Daniel Negreanu raised to 25,000 and David Sands called in the big blind.

The flop landed {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Sands led out for 17,000. Negreanu called, and then the {3-Spades} and {7-Diamonds} checked through on the turn and river.

Sands tabled his {J-Spades}{4-Spades}, but it would be Negreanu's {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for trips that would scoop the pot.

Yu Doubles Through Bonomo

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ben Yu shoved all in from the button and Justin Bonomo got a count of 214,000 before reshipping in the small blind.

Yu: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Bonomo: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop was nice from Bonomo's perspective, but everything changed when the {j-Hearts} turn left him with only three outs. The {7-Clubs} river wasn't one of them and he sent a double to his neighbor.

Schindler Wins Three-Bet Pot

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened for 25,000 and got one caller in Cary Katz on the button. Big blind Jake Schindler made it 110,000 and Negreanu called.

"Wanna just check it down?" Schindler asked after Katz said he was making an annoyed fold.

In fact, that's exactly what happened as they saw a {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board. Schindler opened {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and Negreanu said he had missed all of the outs and was sending {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} into the muck.

Rast vs. Fox

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Brian Rast opened the cutoff to 23,000 and Elio Fox three-bet the small blind to what appeared to be 103,000. Rast called, and the flop landed {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Fox continued for 70,000 and Rast called as both players checked the {6-Clubs} on the turn.

The river landed the {2-Hearts}, and Fox announced a bet of 125,000. Before Fox could even put the chips into the middle, Rast called.

Fox revealed his {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for queen-high, and Rast tabled his {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top pair to collect the pot and extend his chip lead.
