Najeem Ajez limped in the hijack before Daniel Zack raised to 10,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded, but Ajez stuck around with a call.

When the 10♥9♠8♠ flop hit the felt, Zack quickly check-folded to a bet of 10,000 from Ajez.

"Good flop for me," Ajez said as he tabled three of his four cards showing the A♠10♠8♦.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was picked up on a A♥5♠3♠ flop in a hand between Brandon Mueller in the big blind and Daniel Negreanu in the hijack.

Mueller checked, Negreanu bet 8,000, Mueller check-potted, and Negreanu re-potted to 69,000 effective. Mueller quickly called to put himself at risk.

"What do you have?" asked Negreanu. "Everything," responded Mueller.

Negreanu replied, "You have everything? I have everything!"

Brandon Mueller: 7♠6♦4♠3♥ All in
Daniel Negreanu: A♠6♠5♥4♥

Negreanu had Mueller in terrible shape but the 9♦ turn gave Mueller more outs.

The 8♦ peeled off on the river which gave Mueller the nut straight and a full double up at the expense of Negreanu. No selfie sticks were harmed in the process.
