Negreanu Falls

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

It was a three-way pot with about 20,000 in it when we walked up to a {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {8-Spades} flop. The first two players checked to Daniel Negreanu, and he bet 12,500. From the small blind, Tim West check-raised to 33,900 to get heads up, and Negreanu three-bet all in for his last ~80,000. West quickly called, and Negreanu was at risk as the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Negreanu: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
West: {A-Spades} {9-Spades}

The turn {Q-Spades} was a disaster for Negreanu as West found the spade to fill his unbeatable flush. The river was a mere formality, and Negreanu wished his table luck, signed a few autographs for the spectators, and headed out of the room with a camera trailing him.

West is up to 290,000 with that knockout, and the remaining field has just gotten a little easier to navigate without Kid Poker's presence.
