2-7 Triple Draw
"I guess I'm out," Daniel Negreanu was heard saying as he got up from his seat and made his way to the exit, his camera in tow and running.
According to his former tablemates, it was Steve Zolotow who dealt the final blow. "Guilty as charged," Zolotow said.
Zolotow said he made a wheel on the second draw and Negreanu broke a 10 already drawing dead. That ended Negreanu's tournament, but he did collect his first cash of the 2022 WSOP.
