Negreanu Coolers Fields in Massive Pot
Level 11
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Brek Schutten raised to 35,000 from early position before Daniel Negreanu, in the cutoff, three-bet to 130,000. Matthew Fields called in the big blind, while Schutten got out of the way.
The flop came 10♦A♦4♣ and Negreanu continued for 80,000. Fields quickly called and checked the A♥ turn.
Negreanu bet another 200,000, Fields moved all in for around 350,000, and Negreanu snap-called with A♠K♣ for trip aces.
"Motherf**ker," Fields said as he showed A♣Q♣. The river came the 5♣ and Fields was sent to the rail.
"Sorry buddy. Nothing you can do once the ace comes," Negreanu told him.
"I almost didn't play it," Fields replied on his way to the exit.

Hennigan Nearly Doubles Up Without a Call
Level 11
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
On a J♣10♥3♠J♥ board John Hennigan bet 18,000 from the button and Scott Eskenazi called from the big blind.
The turn came 6♣. Eskenazi checked, and Hennigan bet 91,000 from his remaining 130,000 into the 290,000 pot. Eskenazi tilted his head like a parrot for all of the thirty second shot clock, reading the board and Hennigan, but ultimately folded.

Soverel Shoves to Leave Foxen Short
Level 11
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, Kristen Foxen bet 20,000 on a board of 7♣3♦5♣5♠ and Sam Soverel called.
The river came the 6♥ and Soverel checked to Foxen, who bet another 60,000, leaving herself around the same amount behind. Soverel then raised enough to put her all in.
Foxen went through three time bank chips and tanked for nearly two minutes before deciding to save her last chips for another hand.

Hallay and Deeb Lock Horns While Negreanu and Oganyan Explore Time Bank Strategy
Level 11
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Freddy Deeb bet 13,000 from the small blind on a 10♦10♠3♥ flop. Axel Hallay raised to 60,000 and Deeb called.
Both players checked the 8♠ on the turn. When the 7♦ hit the river, Deeb checked, and Hallay bet 130,000, more than half of Deeb's remaining stack. Deeb used a time bank before folding.
While the hand was going on, Daniel Negreanu invited tablemate Aram Oganyan to his vlog. "Most players will ask you, 'How much are you playing?'" Negreanu joked. "Only Aram will ask you, 'How many timebanks do you have left?'"
"I figure if I know you only have one time bank, and I bluff you, you will have to fold because you don't have time to think through the hand." Oganyan explained.

Lamb Hits the River, Halverson Misses Everything
Level 11
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
In a blind versus blind confrontation and already more than 100,000 in the pot, Ben Lamb bet 40,000 on a flop of 5♥5♠6♥ and Mitchell Halverson called.
The turn came the A♣ and Lamb bet another 75,000. Halverson quickly called once more as the 7♦ fell on the river.
Lamb this time slowed down and checked, and Halverson checked behind. Lamb turned over Q♥7♣ for two pair on the river and Halverson tossed his K♥J♥ into the muck in frustration, having missed his flush draw.
