Negreanu Takes His Rebuy Option Again

Down to 2,500 in chips, Erick Lindgren pushed all in and saw a four-way flop with Robert Williamson III, Daniel Negreanu, and Alex Kravchenko.

The flop came {J-Spades} {7-Spades} {3-Spades}.

Kid Poker went all in, and found one caller in Robert Williamson III.

Negreanu showed: {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts} for middle set
Williamson III showed: {K-Spades} {9-Spades} {K-Clubs} {2-Clubs} for the flush.
Lindgren mucked his hand.

The {6-Diamonds} turn and the {Q-Hearts} river did not help Daniel, as he and E-Dog rebought again. Williamson is now sitting at roughly 120,000.

Omadraw

On a flop of {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Hellmuth bet the pot, and Negreanu called with the rest of his chips. "I've got a draw," Negreanu shrugged, as he pushed his newly-purchased orange chips in front of him.

Negreanu: {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Hellmuth: {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The turn brought the {7-Hearts}, and Negreanu had a full house. Negreanu is back around 45,000. Hellmuth is down to 31,000.

The Cards Don't Ly

On a flop of {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Gavin Smith bet pot, Minh Ly reraised all in, and Smith made the call.

Smith: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}
Ly: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Both had top and bottom pairs, but Smith had both straight and flush draws, too. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds}, giving Smith a better two pair. Then the river was the {J-Spades}, improving Smith to a flush.

Smith is up around 85,000.
