Daniel Negreanu and Eli Elezra Face Off

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu
A player in seat 9 with the bring-in has {6-Clubs} and Daniel Negreanu with {Q-Diamonds} completes. Eli Elezra with {A-Clubs} calls. The bring-in folds.

Fourth street is {10-Hearts} for Negreanu and {7-Clubs} for Elezra. Elezra bets and Negreanu calls.

Fifth street is {8-Hearts} for Negreanu and {7-Diamonds} for Elezra. Elezra bets and Negreanu calls.

Sixth street is much the same: {4-Spades} for Negreanu and {2-Hearts} for Elezra with a bet and call.

On seventh street, the actions are the same and Negreanu tables {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for a pair of queens with ace kicker. It's good enough and he takes it. He's up to 18,300 and Elezra has 13,800.

The Brian Saltus Award

One of poker's highest honors for class and integrity is the "Brian Saltus Award." The previous winners include Robert Williamson III; Maureen Feduniak, who's playing in this event; Barry Greenstein, and Linda Johnson.

Mike Sexton, currently among our chip leaders, has presented this award in the past aboard the Party Poker Million cruise each year.

The award is named for an impassioned player who won the inaugural WSOP Tournament of Champions, defeating T.J. Cloutier, "Miami" John Cernuto, and Scotty Nguyen to do so. Brian Saltus then gave a speech about life, poker, and his own terminal cancer. He died a few months later and Sexton created the award in his honor.
