That includes a big hand, what some might call a punt, by Daniel Negreanu at the final table of an online bracelet event on GGPoker. See the hand and make a determination for yourself, but then hear what Negreanu had to say.
From there, a pair of poker influencers, Abby Merk and Ethan "Rampage" Yau, made headlines after their respective behavior on two different live-streamed cash games, 888poker's XL Autumn series is underway, and big winners from Borgata's Big, Big Series.

Gouzil checked back but lost to Miegel's A♠9♣.
Claudio Muller opened to 1,300 from the cutoff. Dmytro Smyrnov on the button called, as well as Moritz Felsing in the big blind.
All three players checked a flop of 5♦10♦2♠ leading to the 8♣ turn which saw Smyrnov bet 2,200. Both of his opponents check-called.
The 7♥ didn't bring more action so Felsing revealed his A♥3♥. Muller flipped over K♥8♥ for a pair and scooped the pot as Smyrnov sent his cards into the muck.
