Negreanu Takes A Hit
Negreanu Takes A Hit
Kyle Morris has just take a nice pot off Daniel Negreanu at our feature table.

He raised to 5,200 from the button and Daniel called from the small blind. The flop was {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Daniel bet out 8,000 and Kyle called.

On the turn: {3-Hearts}. Daniel led out for 16,000 and Kyle made the call.

The river {8-Spades} slowed Daniel down and he checked. Kyle made a bet of 18,000 and Daniel went into the tank, asked Kyle a few questions, and then went back into the tank.

Kyle said to Daniel: "Throw it away, call, do SOMETHING..."

Daniel did do something, he took Kyle's first suggestion and threw it away.

Up at the Bar...

Overlooking the ESPN feature table is the Milwaukee's Best Light No-Limit Bar, serving cheap ice-cold beer to the spectators. They are lined up out the door to get a seat in the stands to watch Daniel Negreanu play on the table below.

"All in and Call!"

The pace seems to be picking up a little bit here in the Amazon Room, following the dinner break. Announcements of "All in and call!" -- made by dealers to alert ESPN cameramen of potential TV-worthy moments -- can be heard just about every 30 seconds.

If history is any indicator, we should expect to lose 100 players or so within the first couple of hours of the restart.

What to Do on Break...

So, what do 70 dealers do when 640 players go on dinner break? Well, ALL of them watch their tables like hawks, making sure the players' stacks aren't interfered with. Some of them chat to their neighbors, some of them chat to the floor staff. Many of the dealers have purchased pairs of magnetic "balls" and are playing with them. The floor staff jokingly announces "Please, dealers, stop playing with your balls!" The dealer on the feature table is playing solitaire, and the game is displayed on the big screen within the room to which there are shouts, "Move the king!"

The mood in the room is jovial. It has been a long Series for everyone and there is light at the end of the tunnel. These men and women work extremely hard to bring us this event and they deserve our gratitude.

Kyle Morris Doubles Through Daniel Negreanu

Just before the break on the feature table, Kyle had {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} on the button and raised. Daniel reraised from the small blind with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Kyle called to see a flop. The flop brought a king and two hearts. All the chips went in and the {8-Hearts} spiked the turn to give Kyle the flush and a 90K pot.
