Negreanu Out but Back In

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Cary Katz limped in from early position, and Daniel Negreanu did the same one seat to his left. Sean Rafael then raised to 17,000 in the hijack, which both players called.

The KJ7 flop saw Katz check before Negreanu moved all in for 47,000. Rafeal folded, and Katz called.

Daniel Negreanu: KQ65 All in
Cary Katz: AK74

The 9 turn and 2 river offered no help to Negreanu, who, after his elimination was confirmed, immediately bought back in.
