Oya Floats Negreanu and Gets There; Rezaei Exits Early
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu from the hijack and Masashi Oya from the big blind were tangled in a substantial pot with the board reading Q♦9♠6♠9♥. Oya check-called a bet of 35,000 from Negreanu on the turn.
The A♥ river quickly checked through as Oya tabled A♠J♣ for a rivered top pair which was good against what Negreanu said was king-queen.
"So gross man," Negreanu lamented, "It's so sick how you play."
Daniel Rezaei had lost a huge pot to Vladimir Minko, and he was eliminated shortly after after his jack-eight fell to the queen-four of Alex Kulev blind-on-blind, as he is the first casualty.
