Negreanu Falls
It was a three-way pot with about 20,000 in it when we walked up to a flop. The first two players checked to Daniel Negreanu, and he bet 12,500. From the small blind, Tim West check-raised to 33,900 to get heads up, and Negreanu three-bet all in for his last ~80,000. West quickly called, and Negreanu was at risk as the cards were turned up.
Showdown
Negreanu:
West:
The turn was a disaster for Negreanu as West found the spade to fill his unbeatable flush. The river was a mere formality, and Negreanu wished his table luck, signed a few autographs for the spectators, and headed out of the room with a camera trailing him.
West is up to 290,000 with that knockout, and the remaining field has just gotten a little easier to navigate without Kid Poker's presence.
