Persson Bets Out Valeo on the River; Negreanu Receives a Needle From the Rail

Level 3

Limit Hold'em

"Hey Bruno, must be fun playing with these two great players," Michael Mizrachi's brother Eric shouted out to Bruno Fitoussi from the rail, referring to Michael and Daniel Negreanu.

"What about the others? That's not nice," Michael replied.

"Daniel won it last year? You still have two more to go to catch Mike," Eric added.

Meanwhile, Matthew Valeo and Eric Persson went heads-up to a flop of A10K where Persson bet from the big blind. Valeo called in the small blind.

Persson bet again on the A turn, but this time Valeo came back with a raise. Persson called and the 5 fell on the river. Valeo slowed down and checked, then folded when Persson bet.
