Cooler Flop Sends Negreanu Packing

Adam Lamers

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Chen opened to 100,000 in early position and Daniel Negreanu defended from the big blind. The flop came A♥9♦3♠ and Negreanu check-called a small bet from Chen.

The turn brought the K♥ and Negreanu checked again. Chen splashed in a bet of 125,000 and Negreanu stuck around for the 8♦ on the river. Negreanu checked for the third time and Chen announced all in. Negreanu nearly beat him into the pot with his stack of around 350,000.

Chen rolled over 9♥9♣ for a set of nines and Negreanu was in disbelief as he tabled A♣3♥ for two pair. Negreanu was left mumbling to himself as he headed to the rail with his camera on.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Isaac Haxton opened to 120,000 and was called by Mathew Frankland, who was on his direct left in the hijack. Sean Perry then three-bet to 310,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Haxton, who put in enough T-1,000,000 chips to have both opponents at risk for their tournament lives. Frankland folded while Perry called off his stack of a little more than one million.

Sean Perry: A♥K♣ All in
Isaac Haxton: A♦Q♦

Perry had Haxton dominated and became the bigger favorite after the 8♣5♠5♥ flop, but Haxton took the lead on the Q♠ turn and secured the bust out after the 3♥ river.

Adam Lamers

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded around to Shannon Shorr in the small blind who ripped all in for his last 565,000. Landon Tice asked for a count in the big blind and then called.

Shannon Shorr: K♦2♠ All in
Landon Tice: A♦2♣

The flop came J♦10♦8♦ and Tice also held the better of the two flush draws. The A♠ on the turn paired Tice but Shorr picked up a straight draw. The river was the 9♠ and Shorr was unable to connect, passing his chips over to Tice.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chris Hunichen opened to 120,000 from the hijack and Matthias Eibinger shoved all in for 1,200,000 in the big blind. Hunichen snapped him off and the cards were on their backs.

Matthias Eibinger: A♥J♥ All in
Chris Hunichen: Q♥Q♣

The flop fell 9♥7♣2♠ and Hunichen still held a comfortable lead with his pocket queens. The 6♦ and 7♥ runout changed nothing, leaving Eibinger on the outside looking in.

Phil Ivey raised to 120,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Stephen Chidwick in the big blind, who raised to 460,000. Ivey went all in, covering Chidwick, who called.

Stephen Chidwick: A♥K♣ All in
Phil Ivey: J♦J♠

The runout of 10♦9♦4♥3♣Q♣ gave Chidwick no help and he was eliminated from the tournament, while Ivey chipped up close to 4,500,000 chips.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dan Smith opened to 160,000 from the button and called off his stack of approximately 1,000,000 when Phil Ivey put him all in from the big blind.

Dan Smith: A♣Q♣ All in
Phil Ivey: 9♠9♣

There was paint in the window, but the K♦6♥2♣ flop kept Ivey ahead, as did the 10♦ turn. However, Smith picked up four more outs, now drawing to Broadway to go along with his overcards.

The river bricked out with the 4♠ to mark the end of Smith's run.
