Daniel Negreanu on Justin Bonomo: "Indoctrinated & Brainwashed Beyond Repair"

Level 41 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Justin Bonomo & Daniel Negreanu
Justin Bonomo & Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu went off on Justin Bonomo in his Monday WSOP vlog, accusing his high-stakes foe of being a "cheater" and said that he's "totally indoctrinated" by his social justice beliefs.

On Friday, after busting his second bullet in Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em on a runner-runner bad beat, "DNegs" slammed his phone in frustration on the way out.

Most poker players on social media seemed to understand the frustration considering he's down nearly $1 million for the summer, but Bonomo was highly critical and went so far as to accuse the Poker Hall of Famer of "violence" and that incidents such as this could make others feel unsafe at the table.

Negreanu began his Day 27 World Series of Poker vlog by defending himself against Bonomo's tweets, and he didn't hold back.

"Someone sent me a tweet where Whacko Bonomo said that if he tied his shoes in front of someone that he wouldn't do it, because he's totally indoctrinated and a lost cause," Negreanu said. "The guy is a completely lost cause."

Lots of Shoves, No Flops

Level 41 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Action folded to Sean Shah on the button who raised to 5,000,000 as the blinds got out of the way. Shah showed two aces.

"First time it had folded to me on the button," he said ruefully.

James Scott then moved all in for 11,000,000 and got no callers. The next hand, Jeff Loiacono got a shove through as this table hasn't seen a flop in quite some time.

Laskowitz Shoves on Jackson to Take Chip Lead

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Samuel Laskowitz
Samuel Laskowitz

Samuel Laskowitz three-bet on the button to 10,000,000 and David Jackson called in middle position. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop.

Jackson led the {6-Hearts} turn with a bet of 10,000,000 before Laskowitz shoved all in.

Jackson shot back in his chair and removed his earphones upon seeing Laskowitz's shove. "You could have jacks. You would not do this with aces or kings," he contemplated as he went into the tank for several minutes.

"You got to have jacks. It's the only hand," he continued before eventually deciding to fold after thinking for around five minutes. He took out his phone for a picture of his hand before mucking as Laskowitz took the tournament chip lead.

Dominick French Eliminated in 15th Place ($20,410)

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Dominick French
Dominick French

Luong Quach raised all in for around 28,000,000 before Dominick French called for less in the big blind.

Dominick French: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Luong Quach: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The flop came {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}, improving Quach to a set and leaving French with a straight draw. But French was left drawing dead when the {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave Quach quads.

The meaningless {4-Diamonds} came on the river and French headed for the payout desk.

Stephen Sandoval: {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Samuel Laskowitz: {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Sandoval was eliminated in 16th place.

Jamey McKay Eliminated in 18th Place ($16,430); Gabriel Andrade Eliminated in 17th Place ($20,410)

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Gabriel Andrade
Gabriel Andrade

Paul Hizer raised to 4,000,000 and Gabriel Andrade called all in.

Gabriel Andrade: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Paul Hizer: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Andrade took the lead on the {5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop with his set of eights and was a big favorite to double his short stack as the {9-Spades} came on the turn.

The river brought the {a-Spades} to give Hizer a set of aces and knock out Andrade in a set over set cooler.

A few hands earlier at this table, Jamey McKay got his last big blind in the middle against Samuel Laskowitz with {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against {a-}{k-} but didn't improve as Laskowitz won the pot with ace-high.

Action folded to Thomas Ryan who shoved all in on the button for 22,000,000 and after some thought Paul Hizer made the call in the big blind.

Thomas Ryan: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Paul Hizer: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and the set of nines propelled Hizer's stack up the leaderboard. Ryan was eliminated in 19th place.
