Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 5th Place ($81,751)
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante
Chris Brewer raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and faced a three-bet from Daniel Negreanu in the small blind to 225,000.
Alex Livingston paused in the big blind before announcing a four-bet to 625,000. Brewer quickly folded to put action back on Negreanu.
After verifying the size of the raise and quickly getting a count of his own chips, Negreanu looked at the dealer and said, "All in".
Livingston quickly called for not much more and both players stood pat to get to showdown as the decidedly pro-Negreanu rail also came to their feet.
Negreanu turned over 9♠8♦6♠4♠2♣ but quickly saw that he was second best to Livingston's 8♠7♥6♣5♥3♠ as his run at winning his seventh career bracelet comes to a close in fifth place for $81,751.
