Event Info
We'll let you know as soon as anything more worthy of note happens, or Mr. Mercier says something funny.
They quickly (really, they're moving at impressive speed here) checked down the turn and river, and Negreanu took the pot with pocket fives.
For example, Barry Shulman just check-raised 250k on a flop, called by Negreanu. They both checked the turn, but Negreanu folded to a bet out by Shulman on the river.
This hand took about as much time to play as it did to type at top speed - I've rarely seen heads up players storm through hands like this.
Negreanu creeps back to 3 million.
Flop:
Shulman bet out -- and Negreanu announced all in. Instacall.
Shulman:
Negreanu:
Turn:
The crowd exploded with various shoutings.
River: a sad as if to mock Negreanu
Shulman enjoys a full double-up and is now in possession of three quarters of the chips in play. Negreanu meanwhile is left with, obviously, one quarter.
Shulman checked the turn and now Negreanu bet in position -- but Shulman announced all in and Negreanu was put to a decision. He squinted hard at both the board and the impassive Shulman, while the crowd went wild at the rail. After a few tense moments, though, the crowd were disappointed -- Negreanu folded, and Shulman is back up to 4 million or so up against Negreanu's 6 million.
A few moments later and Shulman picked up another 300,000 or so after his came out good on a board with little action.
