Negreanu Bests Brikis

Josh Brikis raised to 525 from early position and was called by Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff. The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Brikis bet 650 which Negreanu called. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and when Brikis checked, Negreanu tossed out a bet of 1,325. Brikis then raised to 3,100 and Negreanu thought for a bit before declaring he was all in. Brikis decided to fold and Negreanu flipped over the {j-Hearts} but not his other card.

The table all agreed that Negreanu must have had the ace of hearts to go with his jack and although it was never shown, Negreanu did verbally admit to also having the ace of hearts.

Steve Watts Forces a Big Lay Down

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

On an {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades} board, Steve Watts led into his opponent for 3,625. His opponent, who had over 25,000 in chips, thought for a long while before laying down his hand. Watts immediately showed {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and his opponent claimed to have pocket queens for a set.

"With that stack? Yeah, right," Watts responded in his British accent. As they walked off for break, his opponent explained he didn't bet the flop because he read the board as having two kings. Watts doesn't seem to be buying it.

Hinkle Chips Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board, Blair Hinkle bet 1,450 into his lone opponent. The player in position made the call and the two players saw the {j-Hearts} hit the turn.

Hinkle checked this time and his opponent decided to fire 3,850. Hinkle didn't take too much time making the call and his opponent could only show {j-Spades}{8-Spades}. Hinkle tabled {q-Spades}{8-Clubs} and used that pot to chip up to 31,000.
