Ever misread your poker hand and felt like an amateur? Don’t worry. Even Daniel Negreanu does it.

The Poker Hall of Famer and seven-time WSOP bracelet winner has been eliminated from this year’s $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship after a rare misread led him to shove all-in against American player Mark Steinberg with his tournament life on the line.

Both players checked the 10♦ turn leading to the 9♦ river. Comeskey bet and [Removed:550] briefly went into the tank.

"I don't think two pair is good" [Removed:550] commented before mucking his hand and conceding the pot to Comeskey.

2-7 Triple Draw

Bhargav Kakani raised all-in for 24,000 first to act and was called by Nicolas Milgrom in the small blind and John Cipriano in the big blind.

Milgrom drew three, Cipriano drew no less than four cards, and Kakani drew two. Milgrom led and Cipriano folded.

Both took one on the second draw. Milgrom took one on the end and Kakani stood pat.

Bhargav Kakani: 8x7x6x3x2x All in
Nicolas Milgrom: 7x6x4x2x

Kakani had a made eight-seven against the seven draw of Milgrom. Kakani was better than a five-one favorite to triple-up until Milgrom peeled a 5x on the end to make number four to eliminate Kakani.

Lipiner Doubles His Short Stack Through Sandvik

No-Limit Hold'em

Espen Sandvik opened from under the gun and Jason Lipiner three-bet to 48,000 on the button — leaving himself a single t-1,000 chip behind.

It was folded back to Sandvik, who shoved to put Lipiner all in. Lipiner used up as much time as he could with a pending pay jump before the clock was called. Lipiner called all in at the last moment and a showdown was held.

Jason Lipiner: A♣K♣ All in
Espen Sandvik: K♠J♥

Lipiner found himself in great shape with Big Slick, and the A♦7♥5♣3♠2♥ runout needlessly improved him to a pair of aces for the double up.
