"Johnny Chan, the Master"
"Johnny Chan, the Master"
Johnny Chan raised to 4,000 from UTG, an early position player moved all in for 13,300, the small blind called and Chan called. Chan turned over the {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and was behind to both the EP player with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and the small blind with {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. The flop was {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

"Hey, I've got a straight draw!" said Chan.

However, the turn was the {10-Spades} and the river was the {10-Clubs}, and both Chan and the EP player were eliminated.

Daniel Negreanu
In the battle of the blinds, everyone folded to Daniel Negreanu in the small blind. He raised 4,000. The big blind moved all in for over 70,000. Negreanu said something like, "That's an unusual bet." Then he called with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. His opponent tabled Big Slick. It was a classic race. Unfortunately for Negreanu his opponent took down the pot when both an Ace and a King ran out on the board.

Paul Wasicka raised 3,500 UTG. Everyone folded to the blinds. The small blind called along with Patrick Bruel (France) in the big blind. The flop was {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Both blinds checked to Wasicka who fired out 4,000. The small blind folded and the Bruel check-raised to 16,000. Wasicka went into the tank for a couple of minutes as the media swarmed around his table. Wasicka eventually called. The turn was the {5-Spades} and both players checked. The river was the {K-Hearts}. Bruel quickly moved all in for 30,000. Wasicka sighed before he folded.

After losing that hand, Wasicka's stack slipped to 91,000.
