We found Daniel Negreanu and Ryan Young in a hand together. They were chatting it up and laughing. The flop came
, Negreanu checked and Young bet 6,000 (the minimum bet). Negreanu called and the turn came
. Negreanu checked again and Young bet 6,000 again.

. Negreanu checked, Young bet 12,000 and Negreanu folded.
Ajay Gnanasambanthan has just felt the wrath of quads, seeing his tournament come to an end in a three-way all in situation. The hand involved Kyle Bowker and Stefano Fiore, with Bowker having both his opponents covered. Gnanasambanthan was all in for 365,000 and Fiore all in for 142,000. This is how the hands looked before the dealer spread out five cards on the felt.
Gnanasambanthan: ![]() ![]() |
Fiore: ![]() ![]() |
Bowker: ![]() ![]() |
Bowker had a strong enough hand to perhaps eliminate two players, while Gnanasambanthan was looking good to triple up. However, the 



board would see Fiore double up his short stack, while Bowker would send Gnanasambanthan to the rail.

, Shak then over-shoved holding 
, before a player holding 
shoved over the top. The flop housed the all-important
that Shak needed and he raked in the triple up.
