Negreanu Busts Phua

Paul Phua has been eliminated.
Paul Phua has been eliminated.

Daniel Negreanu opened to 52,000 from early position, and the action folded to Paul Phua who moved all in for 418,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds released, and Negreanu made the call.

Negreanu: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Phua: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Negreanu's wired eights held as the board ran out {3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, and Phua was eliminated.

"Sorry Paul," Negreanu offered after the hand.

Phua made a quick pit stop at Table 401 to perhaps give Richard Yong a bad beat story, then exited the Amazon Room.
