Bronstein Eliminates Campbell

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Robert Campbell
Robert Campbell

Stud Hi-Lo

We found Robert Campbell getting his last 13,400 in on an early street and the cards began flying. Campbell had {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a pair of deuces and a low draw going to the last card. Bronstein picked up {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a total airball.

"Let me see if I have a sweat," Bronstein said.

It was so as Campbell turned over a worthless {j-Clubs}.

"All I need's a pair."

He got one as he squeezed out the {7-Spades}.

Couden Makes Negreanu Swear

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Big O

Daniel Negreanu bet 22,500, roughly the size of the pot, from the small blind on a completed board of {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Joey Couden potted in the big blind.

"Shit," Negreanu said. "Call."

"Nut-nut," Couden said, spreading {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the nut low and nut flush.

Negreanu had {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for the same low and he got quartered.

At another table, Frankie O'Dell went bust.

Rough-Six for Couden

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Joey Couden (from Event #12)
Joey Couden (from Event #12)

A-5 Triple Draw

Daniel Negreanu raised to 6,000 and Joey Couden called next to act in the cutoff, as did Scott Horowitz on the button.

Each player drew two and Negreanu bet out. Couden raised, and Horowitz mulled over his decision for over a minute before folding.

Negreanu called, and then both he and Couden drew one.

Negreanu bet out 6,000 and Couden called. Negreanu stood pat, and Couden drew one.

Negreanu checked, Couden bet, and Negreanu called.

Couden fanned his {6-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{A-} for a rough-six, and Negreanu showed his {7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}{A-} and mucked.

Time for "The Mouth"

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

"Where do the idiots who show up late go?"

Mike Matusow is in the house and he doesn't even need a card to make his presence felt. He's already talking up a storm and has taken a seat at Table 427 with the likes of Randy Ohel, Viacheslav Zhukov and Marco Johnson.

Negreanu Over Bohlman Again

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Daniel Negreanu opened for 2,500 and Scott Bohlman defended big blind. The flop came {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Bohlman check-called 2,000. He check-called 10,000 more on the {4-Hearts}. The river brought a {k-Diamonds} and a final check.

"I can't value-bet that card," Negreanu said with a laugh.

Bohlman showed {q-Clubs}{10-Spades} but he'd been cooked the whole way against {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.
