Negreanu Eliminated

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Daniel Negreanu, who had been nursing a short-stack for some time, has been sent to the rail.

The player in the cutoff open-raised to 500 and Negreanu went all in for his last 4,725 from the small blind. The player in the cutoff called and showed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}, which was a marginal favorite over Negreanu's {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Negreanu's rail started chanting, "Heart! Heart!" However, Negreanu bricked when the {4-Diamonds} came on the river.

"I can't hit hearts today," Negreanu said before heading for the exit.
