Daniel Negreanu will not defend his $50,000 Poker Players Championship crown after being knocked out of the event by none other than Phil Hellmuth.
Negreanu, who ended a decade-long bracelet drought when he won last year's event for $1,178,703, would see his tournament end on Day 3 this year, after the seventeen-time bracelet winner Hellmuth made a Queen-high flush to send Kid Poker to the rail.
Niall Farrell defended from the big blind after Adrien Delmas opened to 1,000,000 from the cutoff.
The flop was A♥5♦9♦ and Delmas asked for 850,000. Farrell made the call.
Both players checked the 6♣ turn leading to the A♣ river where Farrell led out for 1,000,000. Delmas quickly folded but ran into Farrell's full house with 5♥5♠.
