Negreanu Plays Nice

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jason Koon limped from early position and Daniel Negreanu called from the hijack. Josh Arieh raised to 50,000 on the button and only Negreanu called.

The 642 flop prompted both to check to the 7 turn and again to the 5 river.

No more bets were made and Arieh announced, "I have ace-king," as he was just about to flip over his hand. Negreanu said, "I beat that," and flipped over his KJ107 for a pair of sevens. Arieh tilted his hand back face down and threw his cards into the muck.

This hand was picked up on the flop with over 150,000 in the middle of a board that read J43. Jeremy Ausmus led out with a bet before Jeremy Druckman went all-in. Ausmus called to put Druckman at risk.

Jeremy Druckman: AKK10All in
Jeremy Ausmus: KQJ2

Druckman was ahead with his overpair of kings, but Ausmus had outs with his flopped pair of jacks to crack Druckman.

Ausmus did not have to wait long as the J turn gave him trip jacks to pull into the lead.

The 2 improved Ausmus to a full house to eliminate Druckman.

Druckman hopped right back into the action following his defeat with a fresh stack of 600,000.

Sean Rafael
Sean Rafael

Kasparas Klezys has continued his hot run after joining only a few minutes ago and sent Sean Rafael to the rail. They got it in after the A1092 turn with Klezys holding the A954 for aces and nines with the nut flush draw.

Rafael was on very thin ice with the JJx7x5 for a gutshot , pair of jacks and dominated flush draw. The river was the blank 5 and that spelled the end for Rafael on the first bullet.

New in the field are Biao Ding and Santhosh Suvarna.
