Double Duty for Negreanu; Former Champ Enters

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu has made an appearance in our tournament. Usually this wouldn't be too noteworthy, but it is today considering he's currently the chip leader with three players remaining in Event #59: $2,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. That event is on a one-hour dinner break so Negreanu opted to late register this event.

"We're three handed already," Negreanu told PokerNews. "Seems worth it, right?" Negreanu then opted to wait for the blinds instead of posting and went over to Phil Ivey to update him on his pursuit of a sixth WSOP gold bracelet.

Meanwhile, a former champ of this event, Daniel Alaei, has late registered as well as Ashton Griffin and Toby Lewis.

What Does Johnny Lodden Think About That

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Johnny Lodden opened for 800 under the gun and received a call from the player on the button. Dustin Dirksen then three-bet the pot to 3,400 from the big blind, both his opponents called and the flop came down {2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

Dirksen wasted little time in leading out for 10,400 only to have Lodden slide in a raise to 21,000. The button folded and Dirksen called off for 15,350 total.

Dirksen: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Lodden: {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Lodden had flopped top pair but it was still behind the aces of Dirksen. The {3-Diamonds} turn didn't change a thing and neither did the {10-Clubs} river. Dirksen's rockets held to give him the double while Lodden was left with just 6,150 after the hand.

Paul Pierce Can't Bluff Hannawa

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Former Boston Celtics captain and NBA champion Paul Pierce is here playing the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event. While Pierce has yet to record any World Series of Poker cashes, he is an avid poker hobbyist and enjoys playing both no-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha cash games and tournaments.

"The Truth" as he is so commonly known as built up to over 50,000 in chips, but just lost some back to XXX on the following hand.

Pierce limped in from early position, Paul Volpe limped from the next seat, Kevin Song called from the cutoff seat, Danny Hannawa called on the button, the small blind called, then the big blind checked. All six players were shown a {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop by the dealer, and action checked to Pierce. He bet 1,000 with only Song and Hannawa making the call.

The turn was the {10-Hearts}, and all three players checked to see the {2-Diamonds} fall on the river. Pierce led with a bet of 3,500, Song folded, and Hannawa called.

"Nice hand," said Pierce, the newly minted Brooklyn Nets player.

Hannawa then announced that he had two pair and showed the {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Pierce mucked, and Hannawa won the pot.

Hannawa final tabled Event #35: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha earlier this summer, taking fourth for $113,340. With this pot, he moved to about 60,000 in chips.
