Reigning GPI Player of the Year Sent to the Rail

Byron Kaverman, who talked to us earlier today about winning the GPI Player of the Year, was just eliminated at the hands of Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu.

It happened when Kaverman open-shipped the button for roughly 75,000 and Negreanu three-bet all in over the top from the small blind. Mike "Timex" McDonald folded from the big and it was off to the races.

Kaverman was looking to hold, but that proved easier said than done as the flop paired Negreanu. Neither the turn nor river helped Kaverman, and he made a late exit from the tournament.
