The floor was called over to refill the rack. Meanwhile, James Bechtel II (the son of Jim Bechtel), is profiting from Negreanu. He has $19,800 in tournament chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:16:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Rousso Misses Her Outs[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With the board of A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Vanessa Rousso is all in against two opponents. Darren Nelson has 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]for two-pair. The player on the button has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]for top pair. Rousso is behind but has outs, as she has Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. However the river is a blank (J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]) and Nelson wins the $5,050 pot. Rousso has $400 but is rebuying more chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:17:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]One-Bullet Wonder[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Phil Laak pulls a Card Player reporter aside to say, "I am the one-bullet wonder." [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Eight High is Good[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Nath Pizzalatto just won a showdown after betting every street with eight-high. On the next hand, he wins with kings full versus trip jacks. He sits with $7,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:20:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The Grinder Rebuys[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi pushes all-in ($500) with 7 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Ron Rose callshis raise with K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and The Grinder rebuys. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:23:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Daniel Negreanu Can't Win[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]James Bechtel Jr. has greatly benefitted with Daniel Negreanu on his left. Considering Negreanu hasn't looked at his cards, he has been able to take most of Negreanu's rebuys. Negreanu is all-in blind and Bechtel calls. The board reads Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Negreanu sweats his first card, which turns out to be the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Bechtel then shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]for Ace high. Negreanu turns over his other card and is surprised to see the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Of course, the river is the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Negreanu loses another buy in. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:30:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Negreanu Can't Win... Part Two[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The board is 10-7-5 and Negreanu turns over pocket 5s for a flopped set. He is surprised to have a hand this good but still worried that he can be beat. James Bechtel Jr. shows Q-J and will need a runner runner straight to win. The turn is the 8 which gives Bechtel four outs. Negreanu fully expects the river to beat him and isn't surprised when the 9 hits the felt. To his credit, Negreanu doesn't seem down about his bad luck. He laughs hysterically at his misfortune while knocking over chairs and fumbling for his next rebuy. Bechtel is now up to $30,000 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:40:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Win The Tournament...Lose Money?[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Daniel Negreanu will need to do more than just cash if he wants to break even. When asked how many times he's bought back in, Negreanu said, "I've spent $42,000." [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:41:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Gavin Smith's Table Gets Tougher[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]As tables break, others get more and more stacked. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Table 148:[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 2 - Victor Ramdin[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 5 - Men "the Master" Nguyen[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 6 - Gavin Smith[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seat 8 - Mike O'Malley [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:46:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Alstyne Hits a Big One[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The player in seat 7 raises to $150, seat 9 re-raises to $300, and Tony Bloom calls. James Van Alstyne moves all-in for $2,900. Seat 7 folds, seat 9 calls all-in for $825, and Tony Bloom calls which leaves him with $75 after the call. Alstyne turns over Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], Tony Bloom A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and seat 9 has K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes down Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Alstyne's set is good for the $6,800 pot. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:47:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The Daniel Negreanu Show[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Daniel Negreanu calls an all-in pre-flop (blind) and flips up 5 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. His opponent has Q-Q. The board comes 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Negreanu makes a runner-runner straight to double up to $3,700 in chips.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]A few hands later, he gets all-in again with J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]against A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and he doubles up to $6,150.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The next hand, he tells a Card Player reporter that since he finally has a noteworthy stack, he has just started to look at his hole cards before acting. On his first such hand, he looks down at A-10, flops trip 10's, and adds $500 to his stack.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On the next hand, he makes his first pre-flop fold of the tournament, nearly two hours into the event. He wants it to be known that he folded suited cards (a very tough laydown). [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Later, the cocktail waitress comes by...and Negreanu doesn't have any $1 bills on him. James Bechtel buys him a water.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Negreanu currently has $6,650 in tournament chips.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:56:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wong and Watkinson Go Broke in Same Hand[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Steve Wong moves all-in for $900 from middle position before the flop. Lee Watkinson and two other opponents make the call. The flop comes 9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Watkinson moves all-in for another $650. The button calls and turns over Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Watkinson shows 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Wong flips over 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and river bring the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], no help, and the player from the button busts both Wong and Watkinson in the same hand. Needless to say, Wong and Watkinson both rebuy, so their tournament life is far from over. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 13:59:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Pizzalatto Catches Miracle On River[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Nath Pizzalatto and his opponent are all in before the flop. Pizzalatto has A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]but his opponent has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop couldn't be much worse for Pizzalatto as it comes 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. the turn is the 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Pizzalatto has two outs and one card remaining. One of the outs hits as the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]falls. Pizzalatto is at $4,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 14:02:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Matusow Goes In Blind Part I[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mike Matusow announces he's going to go all in blind every hand until the break. "Every hand I'm moving in the dark. I only got three minutes to accumulate chips." Before the flop the player to his right calls the big blind and Matusow true to his word goes all in. Terris Preston calls and the player to Matusow's right folds. Matusow asks why he would call the blind if he's not willing to go all in. Matusow turns up 10 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Preston has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Matusow says, "I can win this race." Not this time as the board comes J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Preston wins the $3,000 pot. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 14:03:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Matusow Goes In Blind Part II[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The player to Mike Matusow's right once again calls the big blind and Matusow says, "You cant be serious if you're not going to call my all in." Matusow then goes all in like he promised. John Michael calls the all in and once again the player to Matusow's right folds. Matusow looks down at his hand flips it up excitedly as it's Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Michael has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Matusow isn't excited for long as the board comes A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Matusow says he cant win a race even if he's a 3-1 favorite. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 14:04:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Matusow Goes In Blind Part III[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]This time Mike Matusow gets no callers when he goes all in. He looks at his cards and once again finds a high pocket pair, this time K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Matusow goes into the break with not nearly the chip count he wants. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 14:05:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Thirty Minute Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The players are on a break for 30 minutes. Up-to-date chip counts will be up after the players return. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 14:11:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The Magic Number is 48[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Daniel Negreanu has rebought 48 times (that's $48,000 for any math majors out there).[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 14:43:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players Return[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The players have returned to their seats ready to play. The blinds have increased to $50-$100.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 14:54:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Negreanu Still Gambling[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With four to the flop and $1,700 in the pot the flop comes 5 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The player under the gun checks and Anthony Reategui bets $1,200. Daniel Negreanu who just lost to Reategui's Aces says, "You can't have Aces and Queens every hand can you?" Then Negreanu answers his own question and says, "No you can't," and calls. The next player folds, however the player under the gun raises $2,000 more. Negreanu says he feels like gambling and tells his opponent he has one out. He then calls. The 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]falls on the turn and the player under the gun tries to go all in for $775 but forgets to put his last $50 in. Negreanu doesn't let him and says he doesn't want to put it in if he doesn't get there, and just calls. The river is the 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the player under the gun checks and Negreanu not hiding his hand says, "I got there!" and bets $50. His opponent calls and shows 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Negreanu wasn't lying as he has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Negreanu syas, "I put him on a set. I didn't care." He has $10,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 15:03:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Awada Doubles Off Bellande[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]From early position, Jean-Robert Bellande raises it to $400 and Joe Awada re-raises all-in for $1,800 more. Bellande calls with pocket Queens which cannot hold up against Awada's pocket Kings. Awada doubles-up to $4,000 and Bellande's stack falls down to $2,400. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sun Jul 23 15:07:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Quads Cripple Awada[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Shortly after doubling up off of Jean-Robert Bellande, Joe Awada runs into quad Queens, which cripple his stack to $300.

Phan shows Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Brenes shows 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Brenens fails to catch a 7. Phan doubles-up to $3,250. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
