Eights Not Lucky for Akenhead
flop.Akenhead checked to Negreanu, who bet 100,000. A call, and they now saw a
turn. Again, Akenhead checked, and now Negreanu bet 162,000. A brief moment of chip riffling from Akenhead before he called.The river was the
and both players checked. Akenhead turned over 
, but Negreanu had pipped him with 
for a pair of nines, and he took the pot.

Negreanu In Every Pot
Daniel Negreanu has been involved nonstop since then, calling preflop raises from Markus Ristola (and then folding on the turn to a 90k bet with the board
) and Chris Bjorin (and then folding on a 
flop). One hand he did make some chips from big blind Antoine Saout, however, by limping in the small and then betting out 40k on a 
flop to win the pot.
Mercier Aggression Switch - Back to 'On' Position
Hoss is Boss!
Anyhoo, Mr. Hawrilenko has at least one supporter willing to actually get the pen and ink out to show the world what he thinks of him. After the last break, this gentlement produced a sign saying, "MATT'S ALL THAT!" for waving when he wins chips, and beneath it, another one saying, "HOSS IS BOSS!"
The table all turned round, secretly wishing, I imagine, that there were equally pithy signs waving for them. "Matt Is A Calling Station one under there?" joked Negreanu, while probably realising that wouldn't make the cut as it's more than three syllables.
No Show Here
We can only imagine how ludicrously fascinating this is for the Guys In The Van, who get to see the hole cards. For our part, we'd love to get to see a bit more of what's really going on. Just going to have to wait for it to air...
