Daniel Negreanu: / /
Carlos Mortensen bet out on fourth and Michael Binger raised, Daniel Negreanu made the call, as did Mortensen. Binger took the lead on fifth and bet after Mortensen checked, Negreanu and the Spaniard both calling. On sixth it was checked to Negreanu who bet, Mortensen called and Binger shook his head, annoyed before mucking his hand.
Seventh was checked down and Mortensen turned over for two pair, beating Negreanu's . Binger, who had requested his seventh card anyway declared he would've scooped having made trip fours.
"I took my seventh card...just to torture myself," he said with more than a tinge of regret.
