Negron On a Heater

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Larry Negron has been picking up pot after pot on Table 2 and has moved into an overwhelming chip lead. Just recently, the action folded to Negron in the small blind who just limped in and Landon Brown checked his option.

The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} and both players checked to the {3-Spades} on the turn. Negron led out for 75,000 and Brown stuck around to see the {a-Hearts} on the river. Negron slid in another bet of 150,000 and Brown tanked before calling. Negron showed {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for the nuts and Brown sent his cards to the muck.

Fred Paradis Eliminated in 13th Place ($1,237)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Fred Paradis
Fred Paradis

The action folded to Fred Paradis on the button who moved in for his last 230,000. Donald Brown re-shoved all in from the small blind and Bill Melms folded his big blind.

Donald Brown: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Fred Paradis: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Paradis was left grasping at straws. The {10-Hearts} on the turn gave Paradis a straight but Brown made a higher one. The {a-Spades} on the river was no help for Paradis and he was eliminated in 13th place.

Anthony Astarita Eliminated in 14th Place ($1,237)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Anthony Astarita - 14th Place
Anthony Astarita - 14th Place

Donald "Doc" Brown raised to 95,000 from the cutoff and WPTDeepstacks champ Anthony Astarita three-bet jammed for around 300K on the button. Both blinds folded and Brown opted to make the call.

Astarita: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Brown: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Astarita was way out in front but the {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop did give Brown a flush draw. The {2-Hearts} turn was of no consequence but the {J-Diamonds} river was as Brown made the flush to send Astarita to the rail.

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Jon Godwin
Jon Godwin

Jon Godwin opened to 55,000 from under the gun and was called by Troy Bercot in the cutoff and Peter Wang on the button. The flop came {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Godwin checked to Bercot who bet 150,000. Wang folded and Godwin thought for a minute before calling.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Godwin checked again. Bercot moved all in and Godwin quickly called off his stack of around 350,000. Bercot tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} while Godwin was in trouble with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}. The river was the {8-Spades} and Godwin had his aces cracked to finish in 16th place.

Mike Taylor Eliminated in 16th Place ($1,029)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Mike Taylor - 16th Place
Mike Taylor - 16th Place

Mike Taylor got his last 205,000 all in preflop and found himself in dire straits against Larry Negron.

Taylor: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Negron: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Taylor was in desperate need of a three but instead the {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Spades} flop brought Negron a set. The {5-Hearts} turn left Taylor drawing dead and he headed for the payout desk after the meaningless {10-Hearts} was run out on the river.
