"Do you consider yourself a pessimist?" Phil Hellmuth asked tablemate Erik Seidel.

"Probably, yeah," said Seidel after some thought. "I read your book; didn't help."

"What, 'Positivity'?" asked Hellmuth and Seidel nodded.

Meanwhile, Thai Ha opened to 6,000 and Niall Farrell three-bet to 18,500. With the action back on Ha he four-bet all in for 98,100. Farrell snap-called.

Thai Ha: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Niall Farrell: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

"Positivity," said Farrell, "Let's go!"

The flop wasn't a good one for Farrell coming {8-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and giving Ha the lead. However, Farrell picked up a flush draw. The turn was the {7-Clubs} but the river {3-Hearts} meant that Farrell sent Ha to the rail, picking up a $3,000 bounty in the process.
