Negreanu Busts Bonomo

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a blind on blind confrontation, Daniel Negreanu in the small blind and Justin Bonomo in the big blind got their two short stacks into the middle, with Bonomo being the at risk player.

Justin Bonomo:
Daniel Negreanu:

Bonomo was a marginal favourite but Negreanu picked up an open ender on the flop. He immediately hit that draw on the turn to vault into the lead, though Bonomo could still survive with a river diamond. It did not come in, however, with the board bricking out to send the all time money leader to the rail.

Daniel Negreanu	185,000 -40,000	-40,000

Fei Folds to Bedell

Shirley Ang

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The board read with some chips in the middle already.

Tom-Aksel Bedell had fired a bet of 104,000 out from the middle position and this had sent Wesley Fei in the tank on the button. He had to use a time bank before opting to fold.

Bedell claimed to have had quad kings.

Tang Gets Paid

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David Peters opened to 19,000 on the button and Stanley Tang defended out of the big blind after having just reentered.

Action checked through the flop to the turn where Tang led out for 40,000. Peters, as yet unconvinced, called.

Tang did not slow down on the river, firing off 100,000. Peters took his time making a decision but ultimately tossed in calling chips only to be shown by his opponent for the absolute nuts.

Stanley Tang	480,000 480,000	480,000
David Peters	235,000 -65,000	-65,000
