Negreanu Has the Bigger Flush

Level 8 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Jake Schindler opened to 110,000 from under the gun and was called by Daniel Negreanu on his left and Steffen Sontheimer in the small blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {10-Spades} on the turn.

Sontheimer led out for 145,000 and both Schindler and Negreanu called. The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Sontheimer checked this time. Schindler threw in a bet of 525,000 and Negreanu called along with Sontheimer. Schindler put his cards in the muck while both Negreanu and Sontheimer announced they had a flush. Negreanu turned over {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and that was big enough to beat Sontheimer.

Here are the counts from Table 431 heading into the last break of the night.
