Daniel Negreanu Eliminated

[user24788]

Over at the featured TV table, Daniel Negreanu was fighting for his tournament life with a short stack. He lost most of his chips when Janne Lamsa caught a flush against him. Kid Poker hoped that he could get some of them back when he tangled with Lamsa in another hand.

Lamsa opened for a 10,000 raise. Negreanu moved all in for 37,300.

"Poker gets easy when you're short stacked," said Negreanu. "I don't care either way what you do."

After a minute of thinking, Lamsa called.

Negreanu: {A-Spades}

Lamsa:

Negreanu was ahead. The flop was {8-Diamonds}

. The turn was the {4-Clubs}

giving Lamsa an opportunity to chop if a 6 fell. Lamsa's only chance to win the hand would be if a King spiked on the river. The dealer burned, then dealt the {K-Hearts}

. Lamsa won the pot on a three-outer.

Negreanu shook his head and said, "I would have settled for a six and the chop."

Negreanu got a loud applause from the audience as he headed to the rail.
