Negreanu Challenge Ahead
Daniel Negreanu, having held a 2:1 plus chip lead for over a level, has finally busted Carlos Mortensen, who was moving his stack around with good timing, picking up the occasional raise and finding Negreanu unwilling to call his all-ins, until preflop which pretty much instantly called Mortensen. He chuckled and may have had a minor swear when he saw this hand - he could only table a dominated and watched the board give Negreanu a straight: . Handshakes and no hard feelings, even a, "Good luck in the next match," from the vanquished Mortensen.
