Negreanu Falls to Pfutzenreuter
Level 6
: 250/500, 50 ante
With Tobias Reinkemeier, a German claimed the chip lead after Day 1a, and now Timo Pfutzenreuter may very well do the same on Day 1b aftee knocking out defending champ Daniel Negreanu.
Pfutzenreuter defended his small blind with 
against Negreanu, who had raised from early position. Pfutzenreuter then check-called a bet on the 
flop as well as on a blank turn.
A third club appeared on the river and Pfutzenreuter proceeded to check-raised all in. The Canadian called off with the second nut flush and hit the rail just shy of the end of Day 1b, ensuring that a new champion will be crowned here in Melbourne.
