Daniel Negreanu Doubles Up
Table 10 is starting to become quite an exciting place to spend your time if you like your action. Firstly Ville Mattila doubled up through Robert Werner Zipf when his Pocket Kings crushed Zipfs Pocket Sevens. Then Team Pokerstars Pro Daniel Negreanu won a nice little pot from Szymon Pieszczoch after Negreanu's was good enough to beat Pieszczoch at showdown on a board.
Then we had one of the most significant pots of the tournament so far. Carsten Joh opened from early position to 4,700 and Jack Elwood made the call. Szymon Pieszczoch squeezed from behind making it 14,300 to play and then Stjepan Jokic called from the button. By this time Negreanu, who was in the Small Blind, had stopped eating his Tofu and vegetables and he made the four bet. We couldn't see how much it was in total but it was a large tower of yellow chips each worth 5,000. Joh and Elwood folded before Pieszczoch five-bet enough to put Jokic and Negreanu all-in. Jokic folded and Negreanu called.
