Negreanu Wins on the River

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu took his seat in Event #41 just before the dinner break and added a few more chips to his stack recently.

Negreanu was in the big blind and when the flop came down {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, he check-raised and got a call. The turn was the {9-Spades} and Negreanu's bet was called, and on the {j-Diamonds} river, he took down the pot after his opponent folded under the pressure of another bet from the six-time bracelet winner.

Ari Engel
Ari Engel

There were three players in the pot on a board that read {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} when Ari Engel moved all in for his last bet and was called by Chip Jett before their other opponent folded.

Ari Engel: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Chip Jett: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

River: {5-Clubs}

Jett was in front with a pair of kings, and Engel stood up from his chair and collected his belongings before the river was even dealt, and he departed when the five-of-clubs sealed his fate.
