Negreanu Scores a Knockout with Aces
PLO – PLO 8 – Big O - PLTD: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 Ante

Daniel Negreanu was in the middle of recounting a big hand to his phone when another big hand emerged, kicking off with Jacob Babins raising to 8,000 in the cutoff.
"Gotta go!" Negreanu said as he dropped the selfie stick and announced "pot" to 30,000. Jean Kabbaj then flatted in the big blind as Babins got out of the way.
"Are you going high or middle?" Kabbaj asked Negreanu.
"Yeah, I'm going middle!" Negreanu replied sarcastically.
The flop landed 8♥8♠9♣ and Kabbaj checked. Negreanu bet pot for 76,000 and Kabbaj called. Kabbaj then led all in for 51,000 on the 3♦ turn and Negreanu called.
Jean Kabbaj: A♥J♠7♥2♥ 
Daniel Negreanu: A♣A♠K♠6♥
Negreanu was ahead with aces and stayed that way for an elimination as the Q♠ river landed to confirm Kabbaj's elimination.
Negreanu then picked his selfie stick back up and went back to recounting the previous hand.
