Sion Calls Negreanu's River Bet

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Negreanu limped from the small blind. Elior Sion checked his option from the big blind.

On the {9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, Negreanu checked to Sion, who bet 60,000. Negreanu called. The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, and both players checked to see the {6-Diamonds} on the river. Negreanu led out for 150,000 on that river, and after a few seconds of thought, Sion called.

Negreanu kept his hand face-down while Sion showed {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a flush.

"Yeah," Negreanu said. "I thought you had something like that." He mucked, and Sion took down the pot.

Matthew Ashton Eliminated in 8th Place ($164,286)

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
Matthew Ashton - 8th Place
Matthew Ashton - 8th Place

No-Limit Hold'em

Isaac Haxton raised on the button to 100,000, and Matthew Ashton put in his last 60,000 from the small blind. Daniel Negreanu folded what he said was an awful hand in the big.

Haxton: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Ashton: {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Ashton was completely crushed but got almost an ideal flop, as the {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{a-Spades} gave him a combo draw. The {5-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river were bricks, though, and the 2013 PPC champ bubbled the unofficial final table.

Ashton Down to a Few Bets

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Matthew Ashton raised and called a three-bet from Daniel Negreanu, who was on the button. Ashton drew two and Negreanu one. Ashton check-called a bet, and each player drew one. Ashton again check-called and drew, but Negreanu was pat this time. Ashton mucked on the river to Negreanu's bet, although he thought things over for a while before he did so.

The former champ is down to just a few bets now.
