Baker: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Luske: {X-}{X-} / {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Leah: {X-}{X-} / {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}

After the bring-in was posted, Mike Leah and Seat 7 limped in, Michael Baker completed, Marcel Luske called, and Leah and Seat 7 called as well. Luske checked fourth street, Leah checked, Seat 7 checked, Baker bet and everyone called.

On fifth street, everyone checked to Baker who bet again. This time, Seat 7 opted out, while Luske and Leah stuck around. On sixth street, Baker gained the betting lead with a pair of tens and he kept firing. Luske folded instantly and Leah folded after some thought.

It turned out to be a good decision for both players, as Baker flipped over {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for a monstrous rolled up queens.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
Daniel Negreanu (earlier this series)
Daniel Negreanu (earlier this series)

Negreanu: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds} / {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} / {5-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} / {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{J-Spades}{A-Diamonds} / {A-Clubs}

Daniel Negreanu was down to just 1,200 before he played his last hand of the night. After a player posted the bring in, Negreanu raised, another player reraised and Negreanu called all in.

"I trapped you buddy!" laughed Negreanu, showing his split tens. His opponent revealed split sevens and the race was on.

"Come on everybody!" shouted Negreanu to the rail, all while capturing everything on camera for his WSOP vlogs.

The rundown favored Negreanu until the river, when his opponent revealed his final card to be an ace.

"Oh no, he made aces up," said Negreanu, who sweated his last card before slamming the {5-Spades} on the table.

"Boom! Six low, chop it up! Oh wait, this is Stud hi. Damnit!" laughed the Canadian, and he made his way to the exit.
