The man, the legend, the 17th place finisher

Back we come from dinner, and no sooner than our remaining 17 were seated back at the felt, than we saw action.

On Table Centre Court, Daniel Negreanu raised, and the action folded gently over to Doyle Brunson on the button, who moved all in. Over to James Akenhead in the small blind -- who reshoved. Negreanu got out of the line of fire, and they turned their cards over.

Brunson: {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

Akenhead:

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

Flop:

{4-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

putting Brunson in the lead

Turn: {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

putting Akenhead back in the lead

Mr. Brunson's assistant, who seemed to be under the impression that Doyle was holding the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

, cheered and called out for no nine or queen.

River: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

To a standing ovation from the crowd, Brunson is bust.
