Monnette Beats Negreanu; Hellmuth Out
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised from late position and John Monnette three-bet from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Negreanu called.
Monnette took one before Negreanu took two, and then Monnette led with a bet. Negreanu raised and Monnette called to see a second draw. Monnette stood pat and then bet after Negreanu took one. Negreanu called and took one on the third draw after Monnette stood pat again. Both players checked the final draw and Monnette turned over 8x7x5x4x2x to take the pot with the number 12. Negreanu flashed the losing hand and tossed it in the muck.
Meanwhile, Phil Hellmuth was seen leaving the tournament area after he lost the last of his short stack.
