Daniel Negreanu potted to 35,000 from middle position and Ronald Keijzer called in the hijack.

Ronald Keijzer: A♣8♣4♥3♦

Negreanu was in good shape with his pair of nines and the superior low draw.

"No deuce!" pleaded Negreanu as commentator Ali Nejad joined the sweat.

"You can't call for no deuce, Daniel. That's like saying no seven at the craps table," joked Nejad.

The board ran out 8♠Q♥ and Negreanu's nines scooped the whole pot as he doubled.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Limits: 8,000-28,000

Tobias Hausen limped from middle position, Eric Wasserson limped the hijack, and Qiang Xu limped the cutoff. On the button, Justin Liberto potted to 42,000. Hausen called, Wasserson reluctantly folded, and Xu called.

On the Q♠9♣3♠ flop, Hausen jammed for 12,000, Xu potted, and Liberto called all-in for 57,000.

Tobias Hausen: A♠3♦3♣2♥ All in
Justin Liberto: K♠K♦J♣10♥ All in
Qiang Xu: A♥10♦9♠9♥

Xu flopped middle set while Liberto had a wrap and Hausen needed divine intervention. No waiting was required for Liberto on the J♥ turn as he made the nuts. Xu failed to fill up on the 7♦ river as Liberto scooped a big one and Hausen was eliminated.
