Daniel Negreanu: 
Big blind: 
Negreanu, with a pair of fives, was behind to his opponent's pair of queens. The 
turn improved Negreanu to two pair before the river hit the board, changing nothing.
"This is my 'solver stick'," Negreanu said in reference to the selfie stick which holds his phone to record his blogs. "One time Scott Seiver was trying to bluff me. I reached for this and he went 'Has he ever done that and not gone all in?'"
Negreanu capture the pot for his stack, and the hand for his vlog.
