Team PokerStars Pro Negreanu Enters

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,200 ante

Daniel Negreanu

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has just entered the tournament room at the Casino Barcelona to take his seat in the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller.

Negreanu opted to skip the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller two days ago to play the EPT Barcelona Main Event and progressed to Day 2. But unfortunately for the Canadian, his day didn't last long when his opponent called his all in and came from behind to hit a flush to eliminate Negreanu.

Negreanu will be hoping the cards run better for him today in the High Roller.

Salter Shoves on Chidwick

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,200 ante

The board was down {4-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and Jack Salter had bet 11,500 from the button after Stephen Chidwick had checked from the hijack. Chidwick made the call, and the river card was the {q-Hearts}.

Chidwick checked again, and Salter thought for about 20 seconds before he moved all in. There was around 40,000 in the pot, and Chidwick had 57,000 behind him and was covered by Salter. After nearly all his 30 seconds of thinking time was up Chidwick let his hand go and Salter picked up the pot.
