Albert Daher raised in the hijack and Bryce Yockey reraised in the cutoff. Daniel Negreanu made it four bets in the big blind and both opponents called.

The flop came 9♥2♥6♥ and Negreanu bet. Daher and Yockey called to the J♠ turn, where Negreanu bet again. Only Daher called this time.

Negreanu bet on the J♦ river and Daher went into the tank.

"Kings?" he asked Negreanu after a few minutes had elapsed. Daher eventually folded.

"You don't want to give me 40K to see what I have? You say I have kings and you don't want to see that you're right?" Negreanu said as he tossed K♦K♣ onto the felt and took the pot.

"Don't say what I have and then fold. That's my move," Negreanu added.

"You're the say what you have and call guy," Yockey corrected.

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action folded to Bryce Yockey in the cutoff, who limped in. Ben Yu announced "pot," raising to 45,000 from the button. Yockey made the call.

As the Q♦5♥2♦ flop hit the felt, Albert Daher, Ben Lamb, and Daniel Negreanu were all trying to stifle their laughter. The reason? Phil Hellmuth was working his way through a Bobby's Burger, and it looked like some sauce had made its way onto one of his signature tracksuits. Nothing a bit of Aquafina and a napkin couldn’t fix, as the 17-time bracelet winner cleaned himself up between bites.

Unaware of the scene he'd caused, Hellmuth kept eating, only for Negreanu to grab his selfie stick and record the moment. Hellmuth clocked the attention out of the corner of his eye, pausing mid-bite.

“Classic burger at the table,” someone quipped, while Negreanu called, “Napkins on 627.”

“Can a man eat in peace?” Hellmuth asked.

“You can’t,” Negreanu laughed, as Yockey took down the pot with a bet of 40,000 on the 8♦ turn after the flop had checked through, forcing a fold from Yu.
