The Kid's Short

Hold'em:

Daniel Negreanu is down to just 18,000 after he folded to a Lederer bet on a {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} board.

By his expression, it seemed as if the board got worse and worse for his hand. He's really under pressure now.

Hellmuth Again

Omaha 8:

I catch the very end of the hand, as a very pleased-looking Sherkhan Farnood is raking in the chips while simultaneously enjoying a massage, his hand face up in front of him reading {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and the board reading {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Phil Hellmuth is once again declaring him, "The worst player in the history of the world," and reluctantly throws his cards down; they are {3-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs}.

Now thoroughly furious, Hellmuth is demanding that TD Steve Frezer order the dealers to be more thorough with shuffling the cards. "It's just that he was dealing me some weird cards. I just want procedure to be followed."

Lawrence Takes One

Omaha 8:

Phil Ivey's being aggressive in position, as you'd expect him to be. In this hand he raised from the button only to see Spencer Lawrence three-bet from the small blind. Ivey called before a {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {5-Spades} flop came down.

Lawrence bet and Ivey called so the turn came {9-Diamonds}. This time Lawrence checked, then called a 6,000 Ivey bet.

The river came {A-Hearts} and Lawrence led out for a 6,000 bet that Ivey called. Lawrence tabled {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} and after some consideration of his hand Ivey mucked.
