It's Hot Out Here For Negreanu

Claudio Elizalde

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu had just moved to a new table when he and Reagan Rich got all their chips in the middle preflop. Negreanu was already in the midst of documenting for his YouTube series.

Reagan Rich: A♠A♥8♠5♦
Daniel Negreanu: K♥K♠10♠9♥

Rich was ahead with a pair of aces and better spades, but Negreanu made mention of how his all in hands had all been double suited hands that were well connected. The flop jumped Negreanu into a commanding lead as the dealer fanned out the 10♥8♦10♣, giving Negreanu trips. The turn and river were bricks for Rich and he was led to the payouts.

Negreanu, now with chirping chips said, "We're big pimpin' right now, just sayin'!" before he shut the camera off and resumed stacking his chips.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Josh Arieh raised to 25,000 under the gun and only Santtu Leinonen came along from the small blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 9♣7♣3♦ and Leinonen check-called a bet of 35,000.

When the A♦ fell on the turn, Leinonen checked again before Arieh stepped up the pressure with a bet of 125,000. Leinonen took a few moments and made the call.

The 4♦ completed the board on the river and Leinonen paused for a brief second before announcing "pot," putting out a bet of 390,000.

Arieh went deep into the tank, giving Leinonen a fierce stare down, and after about two minutes, he sent his cards into the muck.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Short stack Bart Lybaert opened to 35,000 and then Greg Himmelbrand three-bet to 105,000 to cover him. Then Logan Trindade, in the big blind, announced he was all in for 245,000. The other two players quickly called and the cards were tabled with Himmelbrand covering both.

Bart Lybaert: K♣K♦J♠6♦
Logan Trindade: A♠A♥3♠9♠
Greg Himmelbrand: Q♥Q♠7♠K♥

"Ugh, I don't even like it!" Trindade exclaimed as he tabled his aces, well ahead of his opponents.

Trindade remained ahead through the turn 8♣J♦4♦3♣, but still needed to fade Lybaerts flush draw.

Unfortunately for them, the river came the Q♣ to give Himmelbrand a set of queens to scoop everything, eliminating both of his opponents.

"Wow, unbelievable, the guy has one out to win, and he hits it!" Trindade groaned as he headed to the payout desk.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On the 8♥6♥4♣ flop there were roughly 196,000 chips in the pot already, Michael Uguccioni was seen with all of his 247,000 across the line, and it was Matthew Beinner putting him at risk for his tournament life.

Michael Uguccioni: J♥9♣7♠5♥
Matthew Beinner: A♦A♠K♥4♥

Uguccioni had out-flopped Beinner's aces as he flopped a straight but Beinner wasn't drawing dead as he looked for a heart to complete his flush. Unfortunately for Beinner the 3♠ turn and 10♣ river were no help and the dealer sent the pot to Uguccioni.

Let There Be An Ocean

Claudio Elizalde

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a flop reading 9♥K♦A♦, Daniel Negreanu called a small bet from Sultan Khair, who made mention of the cheap price. The turn brought the J♠ and again, Khair sized down and bet 40,000. Negreanu made the call and they saw the 6♥ on the river. This time, Khair bet 80,000, making mention of what a good price Negreanu was being given to call.

Negreanu, before folding, went on to say, "I would pay $100,000 [cash] to see one more card... I'm serious. I had the royal flush draw!" and he showed the J♦10♦ to prove it, mucking his hand. In the process he also revealed a 9x which prompted Khair to open his hand to reveal he only had an ace for top pair on the river. "Agh, I wasn't going to call you with jacks and nines..." said Negreanu.

Khair went on to say he would have happily taken the $100,000 to see a sixth card on the board, colloquially known as the ocean.

Dudani Knocks Down Tiny House Tom

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After Thomas "Tiny House Tom" Ulch made it 40,000 pre-flop and Shiva Dudani called, the two went to a flop of 6♠J♣K♥.

The two players then quickly got all the chips into the middle, with Ulch at risk.

Thomas Ulch: A♦Q♣A♣J♦
Shiva Dudani: A♥Q♦Q♥10♣

"Ah, I was afraid you had a hand like that," Ulch commented, referring to Dudani's wrap.

And without any sweat, the 9♠ came on the turn to give Dudani the nut straight and left Ulch drawing only to a ten to chop. The 2♠ on the river did not do it for him and he was sent to the rail while Dudani chipped up to 805,000.
