Daniel Negreanu limped in on the button before calling a raise to 25,000 by Brock Wilson.

The dealer spread a JAK flop and Wilson continued for 13,000, which Negreanu called.

There was no slowing down on the 5 turn, as Wilson bet another 24,000. Undeterred, Negreanu called.

The J river completed the board, and Wilson opted to bet one big blind, putting 8,000 into the middle.

"Not the bet I expected", said Negreanu, as he flicked in the call.

Wilson flipped over 102, which was no good versus the K6 of Negreanu.

Castros Pushed Dykes Off Jacks.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Justin Dykes raised to 15,000 with JJ. Harvey Castro, holding QJ made the call.

After Castro checked the flop 629, Dykes bet 18,000. Castro called.

The K hit on the turn. Both players checked.

Castro fired first on the river 6, going all-in over the 66,000-chip pot. Dykes, with just 131,000 remaining, would be at risk if he made the call.

He thought about it for a bit before folding what would have been the winning hand and put him in the lead.
