Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a heads-up pot between the blinds, Nick Schulman checked on the flop of 5♦Q♦10♠ and Cary Katz bet 19,000. Schulman check-raised for most of his stack and Katz three-bet to put the recent Seven Card Stud Championship winner at risk. Schulman called.

Nick Schulman: K♦J♣7♦5♥
Cary Katz: K♥Q♣J♦9♠

"I'm in bad shape," Katz said despite having the best hand as the 2♦ landed on the turn.

"Now you're in really bad shape," Schulman said after making the flush before the A♥ river earned him the double.

"You run so f***ing pure," Katz said to Schulman as the four-time bracelet winner raked in the pot.

Screw It!

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of A♥6♠Q♠, Keith Lehr led out for 12,000 and the action was then on his opponent, Daniel Negreanu.

"Ok, so if he's got three aces and the nut flush draw, he's not there yet, I call!" He exclaimed as he tossed in the chips.

The turn then came the Q♥ and the action was on Lehr.

"All of it," he announced as he put the rest of his stack in, covering Negreanu.

"Why did you bet all of it? You know I'm not going to fold," Negreanu began to engage in some table talk with his opponent.

After some more back-and-forth, Negreanu finally made the call to put himself at risk.

"You there already? Because I am," Negreanu asked as he tabled his cards and got his vlog camera ready.

"Nope," Lehr replied as he did the same, minus the camera.

Daniel Negreanu: 7♥6♥6♦4♥
Keith Lehr: A♠J♦9♦9♠

"Ok no nine, no queen!" Negreanu shouted at the board, which completed with a safe 10♥ to give him the win for the double-up while Lehr was now the one left short.

"I was seriously considering folding that!" Negreanu said, "But then I was like, screw it!"
