The turn and river changed nothing and Mizzi was eliminated early into level three. Langmann up to 70,000 now.
"What do I have again?" wondered Negreanu aloud after a few moments. "Oh, THAT... I raise!" he said, putting out 7,100 in chips. Both opponents gave up their hands and Negreanu raked in the pot.
"I just got all European there-- top pair, top kicker, raise, RERAISE!" giggled Negreanu as cameras swarmed his table.
"Do you have a set? A busted flush draw?" asked Juanda, as he tried to piece together the puzzle.
In the end, Juanda opted to make the call and as it turned out it was a good one, as his opponent turned over for two pair, fours and sevens. Juanda then tabled for a better two pair and raked in the pot.
"Christmas is not till three months from now!" a jealous John Phan said to his fellow John across the table.
