Szecsi Eliminates Negreanu

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

After taking advantage of late registration, Daniel Negreanu has just played his last hand of the tournament. As Negreanu was leaving the table, he was kind enough to recount what happened.

Norbert Szecsi had opened and Negreanu had three-bet all in for 5,600, with everyone else moving aside, Szecsi made the call and they turned their cards on their backs.

Daniel Negreanu: {a-}{k-}
Norbert Szecsi: {k-}{q-}

With Negreanu the 3:1 favorite, they went heads up to the flop. It came king high, giving both players a pair of kings. The turn was a queen and the Szecsi moved into the lead and Negreanu only had three aces to hit. The river was the case king and it was trips for the six-times bracelet winner but a full house for Szecsi.
