Negreanu thought for a moment, then tossed out 9,000. Bonomo tanked for at least thirty seconds, then announced that he was, "just calling."

Negreanu fanned a ninety-seven perfect, but Bonomo had that beat with an eighty-seven.

"I wanted a call," Negreanu admitted as Bonomo was raking in the pot. "But not 'just a call.'"

Bye-Bye, Bleznick

Mike Wattel opened to 4,000 and Jared Bleznick re-raised all in for 22,600 total. Wattel called and stood pat on the draw while Bleznick took one.

Wattel showed {9-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} for a ninety-seven.

Bleznick, on the other hand, was drawing to a ninety-six with {9-}{6-}{5-}{4-}. Unfortunately for Bleznick, he pulled a {10-} and was sent to the rail.
