Negreanu Spikes Turn (and River) to Double

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan O'Hair

It was folded around to Daniel Negreanu on the button, who announced he was all in for his last 4,425. Negreanu's opponent directly behind him in the small blind called to put him at risk and the big blind folded.

Negreanu: {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

"Eight or a nine!" Negreanu said.

The flop came {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs} .

"I missed. Just put an ace out there and I'll go home," Negreanu said upon seeing the flop.

Turn: {9-Spades}

"Or a nine - I'll take that!"

River: {8-Clubs} , leaving Negreanu with two-pair for the double up.

Negreanu has more breathing room, but is still short, however, with 10,000.

Buch Mucks

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

When we arrived at Shawn Buchanan's table, he and one opponent were already taking to a {9-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} flop and there was well over 1,500 in the pot. Buchanan's opponent was in the big blind position and checked over to Buchanan, who bet 800. With a call from the player, a {3-Diamonds} turn would see both players check.

The {10-Clubs} on the river would see Buchanan's opponent lead out for 1,600. Buchanan thought hard, eventually flicking out the call. He would regret it though, immediately mucking when his opponent turned over {a-Hearts} {9-Clubs} .

Dolan Dusted by Set

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan O'Hair

We caught up with the action just as John Dolan was getting all in for his last few thousand on a {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} flop against another player.

Dolan: {A-Clubs} {6-} for top pair.
Opponent: {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} for a set of twos.

Dolan got up from his seat after seeing the bad news, knowing he was drawing quite slim to a runner-runner draw.

The {3-Spades} turn and {A-Diamonds} river was too little too late for Dolan and he was sent to the rail.

Cajelais Knocking Them Away

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We caught up with Erik Cajelais' table with one player all-in holding {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} and coming up against the {a-Spades} {q-Spades} of Cajelais.

By the time the {a-Clubs} {j-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {j-Clubs} board had run out, Cajelais had sent the player home, adding plenty of chips to his stack.

Hellmuth Takes One Down, Then Loses One

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A player in middle position opened up the pot to 850. The player in the cutoff made the call, along with Phil Hellmuth on the button.

Flop: {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {2-Clubs}

On the flop, the preflop aggressor checked and the cutoff bet 1,000. It didn't take long for Hellmuth to raise it up to 2,500. This bet was too strong for both of his opponents as he raked in the small pot to his chip stack sit a little healthier than it was five minutes ago.

However, we turned around for just a minute or two and when we looked back at Hellmuth's table he looked a little tilted as an opponent raked in a pot against him and it was back to square one.
