Hand #163 - Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 3rd Place ($101,351)

[user10554]
Hand #163 - Jared Davis is all in preflop with {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}, and Daniel Negreanu thinks for a full minute before he calls with {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. It's a race situation, and Negreanu needs to improve to survive.

The board comes {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Davis's pocket fives hold up to win the pot.

Daniel Negreanu is eliminated in third place, earning $101,351.

Hand #161

[user10554]
Hand #161 - With the board showing {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} on the turn, Davis checks, Baruch bets, Negreanu calls, and Davis folds. The river card is the {5-Spades}, and when Baruch bets out, Negreanu looks sick. He studies his opponent, and starts talking to himself, trying to put Baruch on a hand. After a minute or two, he very reluctantly calls, and Baruch shows {9-Spades}{8-Hearts} for the nine-high straight. Negreanu mucks, but with the holecams we see that he held {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}.
