Limits: 10,000-20,000
Hand 1:
Chris Hunichen opened the button and Daniel Negreanu put in a third bet from the big blind. Hunichen called.
The A♣6♦J♠ scrolled across and Negreanu continued. Hunichen called.
Negreanu check-called the Q♣ turn.
The 10♦ completed the board and Negreanu checked. Hunichen pushed out a bet and Negreanu raised.
"I suck, man... I flopped two pair. I knew I should have checked."
Hunichen spent some time in the blender and eventually folded A♥6♥ face up.
"Good fold?" he asked and Negreanu told him he had AxKx for the rivered straight.
Hand 2:
The very next hand, Joao Simao raised from middle position and Negreanu put a third bet in preflop. Simao responded with a fourth bet and Negreanu called.
The dealer presented the A♣Q♣4♣ and Negreanu check-called.
The turn brought the 6♣ and Negreanu took the initiative with a bet. Simao called.
The river completed with the 4♦ and Negreanu bet again. Simao called for less and saw the bad news Negreanu showed 10♣10♦ for the ten-high flush. Simao tabled his A♠K♥ in defeat, leaving the tournament area.
