After busting Event #4: €3,250 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout in 16th place earlier this evening, Daniel Negreanu entered the Mix Max to try for a bracelet. Unfortunately for "Kid Poker," he just busted his second tournament of the day.
It happened when he got his last 10,000 or so all in preflop holding and racing against the of Mori Eskandani. Obviously this is an elimination post, so you know those tens didn't hold. Negreanu has already confirmed that he will be playing in tomorrow's Event #6: €1,650 Six-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha.
With 10,000 in the pot and a board reading , Andrew "Lucky Chewy" Lichtenberger checked from middle position and opened the door for David Peters to be 4,625 from the hijack. The bet proved enough to take down the pot as Lichtenberger sent his hand to the muck.

John Juanda has broken through the 40,000 chip mark after winning a multi-way pot without the need for a showdown.
His mid position raise was called by Aku Joentausta in the cut-off and Martin Jacobson and Antoine Saout in the blinds.
The flop fanned and Juanda continued for 2,000. Joentausta folded but both blinds called to the turn. The action was checked to an intense looking Junda, who glanced at his stack, cut off 4,500 and threw them in the middle. He had believers that time as both players folded.
