"It's OK, You're Rich"

Level 15 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu was all in on the button for 580,000 and Jason Koon made the call from the big blind. Prior to the cards being tabled, Koon said he wasn't feeling confident about the hand.

Daniel Negreanu: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Jason Koon: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Negreanu took out his phone and started recording the hand. "So far so good," he said as the flop fell {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. The {q-Hearts} hit the turn and the {8-Diamonds} on the river to secure the double up for Negreanu.

"Sorry, Jason," Negreanu continued. "It's OK, you're rich."

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} putting a straight on the board and with 500,000 in the middle already, Byron Kaverman bet a cool 1,100,000.

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sergi Reixach and Yong Wang got all of their chips in the middle preflop and it was Reixach who was at risk for around 700,000. The cards were tabled and Reixach was happy to be flipping.

Sergi Reixach: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Yong Wang: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Wang picked up some counterfeit outs with a paired board.

Wang was left with around five big blinds and Kempe eliminated him in the very next hand.
