Negreanu vs. Praz

Daniel Negreanu raises UTG to 500 @ the 100-200 blind level. He is called by Praz Bansi on the button and the player in the big blind. The flop comes {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and it is checked around. The turn is {5-Diamonds} and Negreanu fires out a bet of 1200 and is called by Praz. Negreanu checks in the dark and {10-Spades} is the river card. Praz asks Negreanu if he "flopped a set on the river" and Daniel reminded him "You can't flop anything on the river". Praz bets 1500 and Daniel calls. Praz turns up {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} vs. Negreanu's {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} to win a 7k pot.

The Distant Thunder of Mike Matusow

The Fontana Room is fairly quiet compared to Day 1a. Most fof the noise is the clattering of chips. With no Phil Hellmuth and Jamie Gold back-and-forth banter to keep everyone entertained, the onus has fallen onto Mike Matusow's shoulders to keep the room lively with his stellar conversational skills. Alas, the Mouth is under the weather and his outbursts have been infrequent.

For all his fans; Mike is running better and catching cards. His stack is 72,300.
