Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 21st Place

(7 Card Stud) Daniel Negreanu and Bruno Fitoussi are heads up, and Daniel Negreanu is all in on fifth street. Here's how the hands look:

Bruno Fitoussi: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Daniel Negreanu: {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Negreanu has the lead with two pair, jacks and eights, but Fitoussi has an overpair with a pair of aces, and if he pairs any of his cards he'll take the lead.

Negreanu receives the {9-Hearts} on sixth street, and Fitoussi catches the {10-Clubs}. Negreanu is still in the lead.

Negreanu's last card doesn't improve his hand, and Fitoussi glances at his final card before revealing -- the {3-Spades}. Fitoussi makes his second pair, and wins the hand with aces and threes.

Fan favorite Daniel Negreanu is eliminated in 21st place, and the crowd gives him a hearty round of applause. As a professional poker player, Negreanu has faced defeat many times with great poise, but today, he seems a bit frustrated by this loss.

Mike Matusow Serenades The Featured Table

Bruno Fitoussi and Amnon Filippi have dominated the early action at ESPN's feature table. Mike Matusow summarizes by singing to the theme song for the old Saturday morning cartoon, "The Tom & Jerry Show" --

Matusow: "Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da. It's the Bruno and Amnon Show!"

Barry Greenstein Takes a Big Multi-Way Pot

(7 Card Stud) This hand was back during the stud level, between Freddy Deeb, John Hanson, Gabe Kaplan, and Barry Greenstein.

Freddy Deeb: X X {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades} X
John Hanson: X X {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Gabe Kaplan: X X {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs} X
Barry Greenstein: X X {3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} X

Deeb led the betting most of the way, and Hanson folded on fifth street. Kaplan check-folded the river, while Deeb check-called a bet from Greenstein.

Greenstein showed a six-high straight (that he made on sixth street) to win a very large pot, and Deeb mucked.
