Raul Paez opened for 2,200 from the cutoff and Dan Smith and Jamie Pickering called from the small and big blinds respectively. All three players proceeded to check the 
flop, and then Pickering bet 6,000 after Smith had checked the 
turn. It proved enough to take down the pot as both his opponents folded.

The edge of elimination that is. Daniel Negreanu just limped on the button and the small blind opted to fold. Mike McDonald raised pot to 3,500 and Negreanu tossed in the chips with just 2,500 left behind.
The flop ran out 
, and McDonald put his opponent all in. Negreanu checked his cards multiple times, but could not find what he was looking for.
"No pair. No draw. No chance," Negreanu finally said as he folded his cards. He is down to just 2,500 chips and looking for a quick double up.

Action folded to a short-stacked Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff and he just limped. Mike "Timex" McDonald then limped from the small blind, Micah Smith checked his option from the big, and it was three-handed action to the 
flop.
Two checks put action on Negreanu, and he opted to move all in for 1,400 of his remaining 1,500. McDonald quickly got out of the way, and Smith made a very reluctant raise. Negreanu committed his last 100 and the cards were turned over.
| Showdown |
Negreanu:    |
Smith:    |
Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Smith and Negreanu took down the pot with queens and nines.

On a flop of 
, two checks put action on Micah Smith and he fired out 3,800. Andy Frankenberger made the call, Mike McDonald got out of the way, and the dealer burned and turned the 
. Frankenberger proceeded to check-call a big bet of 12,000, and the both players checked the 
river.
Franknberger rolled over 
for a rivered flush, and it was good as a disgusted Smith shook his head and sent his cards to the muck.
