The flop fell {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Mandavia check-called 35,000 from Negreanu to see the {9-Clubs} turn. Mandavia check-called 82,000 from Negreanu, the {K-Clubs} river completed the board, and both players checked.

Mandavia tabled {Q-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes and Negreanu mucked.

Paul Snead
Paul Snead

Paul Snead raised to 25,000 from under the gun, Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind, Snead four-bet shoved for roughly 200,000, and Negreanu called.

Snead: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Negreanu: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The flop fell {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, keeping Snead out ahead with his aces. However, the {K-Hearts} landed on the turn to give Negreanu the lead.

"It never ends," said Snead shaking his head. "It never ends."

The river was the {4-Spades}, no help to Snead, ending his team's run in 10th place.
