Daniel Negreanu, nursing a short stack of 15,000 within a few minutes of entering the tournament, took out his camera to document his frustrations. "I thought I might hang out with Dario. Have some wine. I lose with ace-king, ace-nine. Mamma mia!" he said.

Negreanu then opened under the gun and Michael Casella three-bet in the small blind. "I call that bullshit. What do you have, a pair?" Negreanu asked Casella.

"Minimum," Casella replied as the flop came 10♦A♦10♣. Casella then bet.

"I'm not even going to peel," Negreanu said as he quickly folded, saying he had a small pocket pair as he dropped down below 10,000.

Both players checked the 4♠ river, and Ray showed A♣10♥. Negreanu mucked A♥9♠, and Ray took the pot with his ace-high, ten-kicker.
