From early position, Amnon Filippi opened with a raise to 5,000. Next door, Daniel Negreanu called the raise, but Alfredo Vega wanted to play for more. He made it 21,200 straight, enough to fold Filippi; Negreanu came along to the flop.

, and Negreanu fired his final 41,500 chips at the pot. Vega went into the tank for a solid three minutes before making the call.Showdown

Vega was leading with his overpair, but Negreanu had a wrap draw. Unfortunately for Kid Poker, the turn and river bricked off with a queen and a four, shipping the pot to Vega. After the chips were counted down, it was Vega who had been at-risk, having Negreanu covered by just 3,000.
Kid Poker lasted just one hand after that crippling, though he didn't seem too terribly bothered by his 43rd-place bustout. He practically jogged out of the room toward his seat in Event #12, not bothering to stop by the payout desk on the way. "I don't need the money..." was the last thing we heard from him as he chuckled and made his exit.
