Sapitavicius Sends Negreanu to the Exit

Nível 22 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action folded to Arunas Sapitavicius in the small blind who jammed to put Daniel Negreanu to a decision for his short stack in the big blind. When the vlog camera came out, it was clear that we were about to see five cards as Negreanu called it off to set up a runout and put himself at risk.

Daniel Negreanu: A♥3♥
Arunas Sapitavicius: K♥8♠

The 2♣5♠Q♣ flop was safe for Negreanu, but when the 8♣ jumped out on the turn, he was left needing a four or an ace going to the river. The dealer burned a card and completed the board with the 10♠, offering no help to Negreanu who stood to exit the tournament area just shy of the three table redraw.

Daniel Vs. Daniel Results In Chop

connorrichards

Nível 22 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu open-jammed a stack of 950,000 from early position and Daniel Rezaei re-shoved in the small blind to get things heads-up.

"Daniel vs. Daniel," Rezaei said as he did so.

"I don't know what I have. I have two picture cards," Negreanu said.

Daniel Rezai: K♣Q♣
Daniel Negreanu: K♠J♠

Negreanu flipped his cards one at a time to see he was pipped and in need of a jack or spades. The flop of 2♦4♦4♠ created some chop possibilities before the K♥ turn gave both players a pair of kings. "That doesn't help me," Negreanu commented.

But Negreanu's attitude changed when the A♣ rolled off on the river to make it a chop. "That does!" he cheered as he chopped the pot to stay alive.

Jason Mercier: J♠10♠
Darren Elias: Q♠Q♦
Arunas Sapitavicius: A♦Q♥

The 10♦9♥3♣ flop gave Mercier a bit of help while Elias stayed ahead, but the A♣ turn vaulted Sapitavicius in front, and the 6♣ completed the board to eliminate both Mercier and Elias.

Seidel Leads Turn, Binks River

Nível 21 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 250,000 from under the gun and Erik Seidel defended in the big blind.

Seidel checked on the 7♦5♦9♠ flop and Mateos continued for 350,000. Seidel called. Seidel then led out for 500,000 on the 9♥ turn and Mateos called.

The J♠ river completed the board and Seidel sized up to 2,000,000 to bring a quick call from Mateos. Seidel showed 10♣8♦ for a rivered straight and Mateos mucked in defeat as he told the Poker Hall of Famer and music enthusiast he had a nine.

Nível 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jose Rodriguez Zurita was all in for 785,000 in middle position and at risk against Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff.

Jose Rodriguez Zurita: Q♦J♣
Daniel Negreanu: K♥K♦

The A♦10♥4♣ flop had Negreanu hoping to avoid getting another king, and the 7♠ and A♥ completed the board to keep him ahead.

A count confirmed Negreanu had his opponent slightly covered, and Zurita made his exit as Negreanu continued to eat his sandwich with a renewed glow and a renewed stack.

Davies Comes Out the Victor in Three-Way All In

Nível 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 700,000, leaving himself roughly 100,000 behind. Seth Davies checked his cards and after a brief moment, jammed for around 1,600,000 from the small blind. Mikita Badziakouski woke up in the big blind with a decision and after using one timebank, grabbed a stack of chips and made the call, covering both players by a small margin and setting up a runout with both Lin and Davies at risk as Lin added his last 100,000 in the middle.

Ren Lin: A♣2♣
Seth Davies: 10♠10♥
Mikita Badziakouski: A♦Q♥

The 7♣10♣K♥ flop gave Davies middle set but also provided a gut-shot straight draw for Badziakouski and the nut flush draw for Lin, setting up some serious turn and river sweats for all players involved.

The turn brought out the 8♠ and when the 8♥ followed on the river, Davies filled up to hold on for a almost a triple up as Badziakouski was left with dust and Lin headed for the exit.

Badziakouski would be essentially forced all in the next hand in the small blind and ended up following Lin to the rail.
