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.
