Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Hand #63 - Daniel Negreanu (small blind), Doug Baughman (cutoff), and Don Baruch (button) see a flop of {K-Spades}

. Negreanu checks, Baughman bets, Baruch calls, Negreanu raises, Baughman moves all in, Baruch folds, and Negreanu calls with {A-Diamonds}

for a pair of kings. Baughman shows {Q-Clubs}

for an open-ended straight draw with a club flush draw, and it's nearly a 50-50 race from this point.

The turn card is the {K-Diamonds}

, giving Negreanu trip kings. Baughman needs a nine or any club (but not the ace or the king) to stay alive.

The river card is the {2-Spades}

, and Negreanu takes the pot.

Doug Baughman is eliminated in seventh place, earning $15,971. The next player eliminated will receive $22,113 for sixth place.
