Szecsi Coolers Negreanu

Calum Grant

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There was 11,000 in the pot on the 10♣10♥2♠8♥5♥ completed board, and Daniel Negreanu checked from the big blind. Norbert Szecsi, from under the gun, fired out 8,500, which sent Negreanu into the tank.

"Ace-jack of hearts, king-jack of hearts....quads?" said Negreanu as he thought about the combos that beat him.

"Would you raise jack-nine of hearts?" Negreanu asked.

Negreanu put in calling chips, and while he didn't see one of the hands that he listed, Szecsi tabled his A♥6♥ for the nut-flush. Negreanu had the Q♥2♥ for an inferior flush and the pot went to his opponent.

Doddapaneni Leaves Anderson on Fumes

Calum Grant

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The 5♦ completed the board and Doddapaneni checked. Anderson sized up to 27,000 and was snap-called.

Anderson tabled his 10♠7♥ for a straight but Doddapaneni had the winner with his Q♦9♦, which was good for a flush.

Ho Insta Mucks

Calum Grant

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Maria Ho is a recent entrant into the freezeout and was battling against Eric Yanovsky.

On the 5♣3♣5♠K♠ board, Yanovsky checked from the small blind before Ho bet 3,000. Her opponent called.

Yanovsky checked once more on the 10♣ river, and Ho fired another 6,200 into the pot.

Yanovsky went into the tank before flicking in a reluctant call.

"You got it," guessed Yanovsky as his chips entered the middle. Ho instantly mucked her hand while Yanovsky showed he had made the hero call with A♣3♦.

Shing Can't Beat Two Pair; Rezaei Calls Incorrectly

Calum Grant

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was caught on the turn, with 2,600 in the pot on the 4♠8♦K♣10♣ board. The small blind bet 1,600 before Philip Shing made it 4,500 from early position. The small blind called.

The 5♠ river checked through to showdown. The small blind tabled his K♦5♦ which was good for two pair, kings and fives. Shing seemed frustrated at the river before mucking his cards.

Also at Shing's table is multiple-time bracelet winner Michael Gathy.

On a nearby table, Daniel Rezaei was in the tank after facing a river bet. The board read 3♦8♣8♦7♣10♠ and he checked from the small blind. The button bet 5,700 and after some thinking time, Rezaei called.

The button turned over his 9♥8♠ for flopped trips and Rezaei mucked.
