Negreanu Gets Big Blind Special

Level 6 : 150/300, 30 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

"Nucman" raised to 877 from the cutoff, the small blind player called and Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu came along as well from the big blind.

The {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop was checked to Negreanu who fired out 1,150 and "Nucman" raised to 4,500. After the small blind folded, Negreanu three-bet shoved for 49,370 and "Nucman" called off their 13,613 stack.

"Nucman": {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu: {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Negreanu flopped two pair while "Nucman" held the open-ended straight draw which they completed once the {k-Spades} appeared on the turn.

Negreanu needed a queen or five to fall on the river and one did, as the {5-Diamonds} appeared to secure him the pot.

Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman Looking to Crush Another WSOP Online Bracelet Series

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante
Ian Steinman
Ian Steinman

One WSOP Gold Bracelet. Three final tables. Fifteen cashes. That was the body of work of Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman in last year's WSOP.com Online Bracelet Series, one that would be the envy of nearly everyone who fired in last year's version. Steinman, who already has been seeking action on some bracelet bets for this year's series, will be looking to duplicate his many deep runs and massive success this year.

Steinman's heater began last year with two final tables early in the series, with a fifth-place performance in Event #7: $800 NLH Knockout Deepstack for $24,578, followed by a sixth-place finish two days later in Event #9: $1,000 NLH 6-Max for $30,995. Steinman's bracelet would be earned late in the series, when he took down Event #27: $400 NLH Freezeout for $110,557 after beating Japan's Satoshi Tanaka in heads-up play. Steinman used these performances to take down the $100,000 Leaderboard competition of the WSOP.com portion of the series, which sent an additional $18,000 his way.

Steinman doesn't appear to be resting on his laurels in preparing for a summer of poker, however, already getting in some prep work by winning the Benny Binion Summer Shoot-Out at the South Point Poker Room for $65,000 after a three-way deal. As much as winning his first bracelet meant to Steinman, the quest for another crusher of a summer is on for the hyper-talented Steinman.

Ye "yuan365" Yuan Looking For Another Big Summer of Online Fun

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Ye "Tony" Yuan
Ye "Tony" Yuan

Ye "yuan365" Yuan, also known as Tony Yuan, has a tiny amount of cashes on his Hendon Mob profile, with just $6,774 in career tournament earnings outside of one particularly big outlier. Yuan, a Ph.D Candidate of Mathematics and Probability at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, overcame the odds and made the final table of the 2020 WSOP $10,000 Main Event, after pushing through a field of 705 entrants.

“I still can’t believe it." Yuan told PokerNews about his run to the final table. "I don’t know how I made it, but someone I did. I was quite lucky to have some big hands. I won a coinflip when short-stacked with pocket nines against my opponent’s ace-jack offsuit." Yuan also was confident in the transition to the live final table, as opposed to online, saying, "I’m a live guy. I think my live play is better than my online play. I can read people.”

Yuan finally succumbed in fifth-place, losing a flip with ace-ten to the pocket fours of Joseph Hebert, but the $286,963 payday certainly helped put a big dent in his college tuition. Now, with another summer of online events waiting, Yuan will be looking to make another deep run payoff in similar fashion.
