Feature Table Hands #44-46: A Shove from Colman

Level 16 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #44: Daniel Negreanu raised to 450,000 from the cutoff seat, and Scott Seiver reraised all in from the big blind for 5.14 million. Negreanu thought for a little over two minutes, and then folded.

Hand #45: Tobias Reinkemeier raised from under the gun to 450,000. Action moved to Daniel Colman on the button, and he reraised to an even one million. After the blinds folded, Reinkemeier fired back with a reraised to 1.95 million. Colman wasted little time in moving all in for slightly more than 10 million, and Reinkemeier quickly gave it up.

Hand #46: Action folded to Paul Newey in the small blind, and he limped in. Reinkemeier raised to 700,000 from the big blind, and Newey folded.

Level 16 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #62: Gabe Kaplan limped under the gun and it folded around to Brandon Steven who completed his small blind. Rick Salomon checked his big blind and the flop came down {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Steven checked, Salomon fired 375,000, and both of his opponents folded.

Hand #63: Tom Hall opened to 500,000 from the cutoff and took it down preflop.

Hand #64: Hall limped from middle position and Brandon Steven did the same from the button. Kaplan checked his big blind and the trio saw {9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} hit the felt. There were two checks to Steve who shot out 340,000. Just like that his opponents folded and he won the pot.

Hand #65: Tom Hall made it 475,000 before the flop and Phil Ivey called from the big blind. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Ivey checked. Hall checked it back and the {K-Diamonds} hit the turn. The two checked once more, allowing the {10-Spades} to finish the board. Ivey bet 625,000 and Hall quickly released his hand.

Feature Table Hands #42-43: Esfandiari Back to 20 Million

Level 16 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #42: Tobias Reinkemeier raised to 425,000 in the cutoff, Daniel Negreanu called out of the small blind, and the flop came {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Negreanu checked, and Reinkemeier checked behind. The turn was the {5-Spades}, the two checked again, and the {10-Diamonds} completed the board.

Negreanu checked, Reinkemeier fired 450,000, and Negreanu tank-called. The German opened up {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, and Negreanu cackled as he mucked.

Hand #43: Antonio Esfandiari raised to 340,000 in the cutoff, Daniel Colman defended his big blind, and the flop came down {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Colman checked, Esfandiari continued for 510,000, and Colman called. The turn was the {a-Hearts}, both players checked, and the river was the {j-Diamonds}. Colman led out for 1.3 million, and Esfandiari went into the tank.

While the Magician mulled the decision over, Scott Seiver, Reinkemeier, and Newey stood from the table and started chopping it up. All three took turns laughing and joking, and finally they returned to the table one by one.

Esfandiari finally called after a few minutes, and Colman showed {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} for king-high. The 2012 ONE DROP champion rolled over {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a pair of jacks, and when his rail exploded into a chorus of cheers, he triumphantly threw both hands into the air.

Paul Newey doubles up
Paul Newey doubles up

Hand #39: Daniel Negreanu raised to 450,000 from early position. Paul Newey called from the small blind, and Tobias Reinkemeier called out of the big blind.

The flop was {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and Newey and Reinkemeier checked to Negreanu. He bet 600,000, and Newey folded. Reinkemeier called, though, and the turn was the {3-Hearts}. Reinkemeier checked, and Negreanu quickly checked behind.

The river was the {4-Hearts}, and both players checked. Reinkemeier showed {A-}{Q-}, and Negreanu mucked.

Hand #40: Phil Galfond raised from early position and won the pot.

Hand #41: Galfond opened to 425,000 from under the gun, and play moved over to Paul Newey in the cutoff seat. He studied for a few moments, then called, and Daniel Negreanu also came along from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and Negreanu and Galfond checked. Newey bet 1.05 million, and Negreanu folded. Galfond, on the other hand, had other plans for this one.

Galfond took his time before raising to 2.315 million. Newey fought back with an all-in shove, and Galfond called with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Newey had the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for the best hand at the time.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, and then the river was the {K-Hearts}. Newey finished with aces and kings and doubled to 10.1 million. He was all in on the flop for 4.265 million.
