Negreanu Doubles Through Imsirovic

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu checked from the big blind and shoved for 194,000 over a small continuation-bet from Ali Imsirovic, who was under the gun. Imsirovic had only put in about 12,000 but called nonetheless on the {4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop.

Negreanu: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Imsirovic: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

Negreanu's top pair was good and he blocked Imsirovic's overcard from being an out. The {7-Hearts} and {5-Spades} preserved "Kid Poker's" lead and he doubled.

Imsirovic Goes Runner-Runner on Negreanu

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action folded to Daniel Negreanu in the small blind, and he limped in for 8,000 as Ali Imsirovic checked his option in the big blind.

The flop landed {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Negreanu check-called a bet of 8,000 from Imsirovic as the turn fell the {9-Diamonds}.

Negreanu checked, Imsirovic bet 13,000, and Negreanu called.

The river landed the {4-Diamonds} and Negreanu checked again to Imsirovic who bet out 45,000.

Negreanu called, and after Imsirovic tabled his {9-Spades}{4-Hearts} for runner-runner two pair, Negreanu flashed his {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and mucked.

Kenney Shows One

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Brynn Kenney
Brynn Kenney

Two players checked to Bryn Kenney on {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and he bet 23,000 into about 50,000 from under the gun. Big blind Dan Smith called. Smith check-called 34,000 more on the {5-Diamonds} turn, bringing a {j-Spades} river. Smith checked and Kenny fired 83,000.

Smith tanked, using his last time extension, but decided to give it up.

"Do me a favor, Bryn," he said, flicking {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. "If you got me with a bluff, just shove it right in my face."

Kenney looked at first one card, then the other.

"You can pick one," he said.

Smith reached over and turned up the {8-Clubs}.

Schindler Clips Soverel

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jake Schindler opened to 14,000 from under the gun and both Jared Jaffee and Sam Soverel called in the blinds.

The {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-Hearts} flop checked through to reveal the {K-Clubs} on the turn. Jaffee and Soverel checked, and Schindler bet out 27,000.

Jaffee folded, and Soverel called as the river landed the {4-Hearts} and both players checked.

Soverel tabled his {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, but it would be Schindler's {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} that would earn him the pot.
