Daniel Negreanu raised the cutoff and Gus Hansen three-bet from the big blind.
Hansen bet on the A♥9♥K♦ flop and Negreanu called.
A Q♠ turn checked through, as did the 5♦ river. Hansen turned over K♠5♠ for a rivered two pair, causing Negreanu to laugh and flash a Kx of his own.
Hansen then asked, "King-ten?" to which Negreanu simply nodded before the pot was pushed Hansen's way.
At another table, Jonathan Twomley was seen leaving his seat and has been eliminated.
