Negreanu Gets Got

Level 12 : 1,300/2,500, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu was all in for 1,100 from the big blind, and he was up against three players. David Benyamine raised under the gun, Mike Sexton called next door, and the small blind called as well, though he would check-fold the flop.

The {5-Clubs} {4-Spades} {Q-Clubs} hit the board first, and Benyamine check-called a Sexton bet. Benyamine check-folded on the {4-Hearts} turn, and Sexton turned over {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Negreanu still hadn't looked at his cards, and he peeled them over one by one, quick like a Band-Aid:

{J-Spades}... {9-Hearts}... {7-Clubs}... {9-Clubs}

"I need a nine," Negreanu announced, though a four would have done it as well. Either way, the river {10-Diamonds} was close but no cigar, and Negreanu is out of chips and out of Event #11.
