Ray Shows Down Aces; "Wine Night" For Negreanu

Level 9 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

"If there's any tournament to have a wine night, it's this one," Daniel Negreanu said as he sat with a bottle and glass. Scott Seiver, who was just about to join the table, and Jesse Lonis then both ran off to get a plastic cup, and Negreanu poured some for them.

"You can't drink wine out of a plastic cup," Eli Elezra chimed in.

"Why not? It tastes better in a plastic cup," Lonis replied.

Meanwhile, Michael Casella had opened in middle position and Elezra called in the hijack. Kyle Ray then three-bet in the big blind, and both Casella and Elezra called.

Ray bet on the J3Q flop and Casella folded, while Elezra raised. Ray called, and the 9 fell on the turn.

Elezra then bet again, and Ray called. Both players checked down the 5 river, and Ray turned over AA to win the pot.
