Hand #96

Hand #96 - Don Baruch (small blind) and Daniel Negreanu (big blind) see a flop of {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Baruch bets, and Negreanu calls. The turn card is the {5-Clubs}, and both players check. The river card is the {6-Hearts}, Baruch checks, Negreanu bets small, and Baruch calls. Negreanu shows {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a six-high straight, and Baruch mucks. The holecams show that Baruch had {A-Spades}{2-Clubs} for bottom pair.

15-Minute Break

The players take a 15-minute break before the blinds increase to 8,000-16,000, with a 2,000 ante. Here are the official chip counts:

Seat 1 - Don Baruch - 485,000
Seat 2 - Daniel Negreanu - 1,603,000
Seat 3 - Jared Davis - 267,000
Seat 4 - Thomas Fuller - 275,000

Small Action

The players are seeing some flops, but there hasn't been a lot of betting. Daniel has more chips than the other three players combined, and they are staying out of his way as he's shown he's willing to call bets and take a chance. And luck has been on his side today.

Michael Wehner Eliminated in 5th Place ($36,855)

Hand #86 - Daniel Negreanu raises from the cutoff, Michael Wehner moves all in from the big blind, and Negreanu considers the call, saying, "You must have ace-four." He thinks for a bit and says even if Wehner has an ace, he's priced into the pot, and Negreanu calls with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Wehner smiles and shows {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Negreanu laughs and says, "I called his hand! I finally got one right!"

The flop comes {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Negreanu takes the lead with a pair of kings. The turn card is the {3-Hearts}, giving Wehner a heart flush draw, a gut-shot straight draw, and an overcard.

But the river card is the {K-Clubs}, and Negreanu wins the pot with trip kings.

Michael Wehner is eliminated in fifth place, earning $36,855. The next player eliminated will receive $68,796 for fourth place.
