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.
