Four Horsemen

Post-lunch has seen a sudden emergence of known players, either having previously slipped unseen into a nook or cranny, or making a late appearance after busting from the stud event.

One player who has recently been spotted is Daniel Negreanu. When I joined his table he was entwined in a pot with Dutchman and former bracelet winner Rob Hollink. The board read {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and Negreanu had just called a raise to 800 from Hollink.

The river came a {6-Diamonds}, and Negreanu called a bet of 400, allowing Hollink to confidently reveal {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

"No good," said Negreanu without tabling his hand.

"No?" replied Hollink, wondering if he was being slow-rolled by a superior hand?

But in the end, it was a draw, Negreanu causing a chuckle by revealing the same hand, {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for a chopped pot.

As a result, both players remain on roughly the same count, Negreanu with 5,800, but Hollink going great guns with 9,000.
