Hand #135

[user10554]
Hand #135 - All three players see a hand to the river in a small pot, and the board shows {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{A-Spades}. The players hold:

Daniel Negreanu: {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Jared Davis: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Don Baruch: {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Everyone got a piece of the flop, but Davis wins the hand with a pair of nines.

Hand #130

[user10554]
Hand #130 - In the last hand before dinner, all three players check down a board of {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Spades}{8-Spades}. They showdown their hands, revealing --

Don Baruch (small blind): {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Daniel Negreanu (big blind): {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Jared Davis (button): {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Every player hit the flop, but the board got scary since nobody had a spade.

Hand #129

[user10554]
Hand #129 - Jared Davis (small blind) and Daniel Negreanu (button) check down a board of {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Negreanu bets the river, and Davis folds. The holecams show:

Jared Davis: {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} -- pair of fives
Daniel Negreanu: {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} -- two pair

Daniel Negreanu Slows Down

[user10554]
Negreanu has slowed down a bit now that he's lost the chip lead, which is to be expected. The players are checking often, and playing for small pots.

Hand #123

[user10554]
Hand #123 - After a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}, Don Baruch (big blind) checks, Daniel Negreanu (button) bets, and Baruch moves all in. Negreanu goes into the tank for several long minutes before he folds. The holecams show:

Negreanu: {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Baruch: {10-Spades}{2-Spades}

Negreanu had a higher kicker, but Baruch had outs to his spade flush draw.
