Stanley Tang Eliminated In 16th Place ($101,149)
Just after the redraw, Daniel Negreanu found himself in the big blind with only three blinds remaining. So he almost had no choice but to go all in anyway.
Before him, it was Stanley Tang who decided to shove for 1,600,000 chips from the cutoff. In the hijack, Gergely Kulcsár reraised all in for more than 4,000,000 chips. "The first card is nice," said Negreanu while filming when it was his turn to act. And the second one was very nice too, so he stood up and moved all in.
Daniel Negreanu: A♥A♣
Stanley Tang: A♦Q♣
Gergely Kulcsár: A♠K♣
Perfect timing for Negreanu, who found aces at the right moment. He was safe on 7♦8♥Q♦5♦K♠, but not Tang, as Kulcsár hit a pair on the river.
When Negreanu tripled up, Tang was eliminated in 16th place for $101,149.
