Negreanu Can't Beat Set

Daniel Negreanu raised in early position, Thomas Blizniak put in three-bets near the button, and Kevin Rand cold-called from the small blind. Negreanu called as well, and the dealer fanned {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The action checked to Blizniak, who bet, and Rand check-raised. Negreanu called, and so did Blizniak.

The turn was another heart - the {a-Hearts} - and Rand led out. Both Negreanu and Blizniak called.

The {j-Spades} completed the board, Rand led out, and this time, only Blizniak called. Rand tabled {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and raked in the pot.

Somewhere to Be?

After taking down a pot with a series of bets, JC Tran quickly checked his cards, then raised from early position the next hand.

"Wow JC," Ali Eslami said, folding. "You got somewhere to be?"

"I'm on tilt," Tran replied.

"From what?" Eslami shot back.

"He's never had a summer holiday," David Steicke added. "He's always stuck here playing poker."

Only a player in the big blind called, and the flop fell {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}. The player led out, and Tran called. The turn was the {7-Hearts}, and the player led again. Tran called.

The {6-Hearts} completed the board, and the player slowed down, checking for the first time. Tran bet, and his opponent called.

"Nines," Tran announced, flipping over {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

His opponent mucked, and Tran raked in the pot.
