Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu sat down for his last bullet in the event and faced a pot raise from Dylan Weisman to 18,000. Negreanu re-potted to 55,000, and Weisman then four-bet pot again, which put Negreanu all in for his fresh new starting stack. Negreanu snap called.
