Runner-Runner Bad Beat Tilts Negreanu; Poker Star Out of WSOP $250k

Level 2 : 400/800, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu suffered a nasty beat against David Peters

The 2022 World Series of Poker has been one that Daniel Negreanu would probably like to forget, especially after the way he was sent to the rail on Friday afternoon in Event #50: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.

On his second bullet — $500,000 invested in the tournament — he entered Day 2 with less than half his starting stack. But he quickly built it back up and appeared on track to make a run. And then he ran into one of his toughest hands in what has been a frustrating summer for the poker legend.

James Woods
James Woods

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Perry Friedman came along for 400 from middle position and James Woods called from late position before William O'Neil called from the small blind. The big blind called and action was four ways.

Both blinds and Friedman drew two, while Woods took one card.

After the draw, all three players checked to Woods, who bet 1,200. O'Neil called before the big blind and Friedman got out of the way.

"Ten perfect," said Woods as he spread the {10-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} across the felt. O'Neil nodded and threw the losing hand in the muck.

McCormick Among the Early Chip Leaders

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

In a hand that took place just before the break, five players all discarded one and checked it down. "I predict an ace will be good," Tom McCormick joked and Michael Chow announced just that. McCormick then smashed a {j-}{10-}{8-}{6-}{3-} on the table and that won the pot.

While waiting for the next hand, McCormick recalled a big three-way pot in which his trips sevens and a seven-five scooped it all. The result is a big stack for him early on Day 1 as the third level has just commenced.

Retired NBA Star Paul Pierce Allegedly Won't Pay His Poker Debts

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce

Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce owes a poker home game host $180,000, according to a lawsuit filed, but is allegedly refusing to pay it back.

Stephen Carmona, per TMZ Sports, claims he hosted a private game at his house on January 27 and invited the NBA Hall of Famer, who is an avid but recreational poker player. He apparently gave Pierce a $150,000 loan to enter the high-stakes game with the promise of paying it back within seven days.

The lawsuit states that the retired basketball star only returned $10,000 of that money and then borrowed another $40,000 from Carmona to compete in a different game, but allegedly hasn't paid back any of that either. Pierce reportedly made around $200 million in salary and endorsement deals during his 17-year NBA career.

Trivett Wins With a Better Full House

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was three ways with a small pot building and {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} on the board. A player in the big blind checked before Michael Trivett checked behind and another player in late position bet 1,500. Both the big blind and Trivett tossed in chips to call and the turn was {4-Hearts}.

All three players checked the turn and {8-Hearts} dropped on the river. The big blind bet 3,300 before Trivett committed 16,100 and his opponent in late position shoved while the big blind got out of the way. The showdown was heads up with Trivett at risk.

His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for sevens full of fours.

"I can beat that," Trivett said as he turned over {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for eights full of fours to take the pot.
