Allen Kessler limped in under the gun. Stuart Rutter made it 700 and the button called. Daniel Negreanu called from the big blind and Allen Kessler called as well.
The flop was 
and Negreanu and Kessler both checked over to Rutter who bet 1,500. The player on the button called as did Negreanu and Kessler.
The turn was the 
and Negreanu opted to lead out after giving it some thought. He bet 5,600 and Kessler quickly folded. Rutter called and the button called behind.
The river was the 
and Negreanu plopped out a stack, making a pot sized bet of 25,700. Rutter thought for a bit but eventually decided to call. The player on the button then thought for a bit as well then decided to call as well. Negreanu showed 
for the nut flush which would earn him half the pot. Rutter held 
for the nut low and the player on the button had 
for the nut low as well, so they would chop the low pot.
With that, Negreanu took down the most of the pot, chipping up to nearly 70,000 chips.
