Hour Two: Daniel Negreanu EliminatedMay 31, '11 Note: Three blind levels will be played each hour, as each is just 20 minutes long. Players Remaining: 127 out 128 Starting Stacks: 75,000 broken up into three chances — meaning that the players started with 25,000 and had 50,000 additional on the side that they could add on at anytime before a hand. If their additional chips were not in play when a hand begins, those chips couldn’t be used to wager with. Note: WSOP tournament staff said the event has been capped at 128 and that no one was locked out. Key Ongoing Matches: Phil Laak vs. Jonathan Duhamel Key Hands: Daniel Negreanu Winning Against Russian, But Wheels Soon Fall Off After a four-bet preflop by Negreanu, Alex Kostritsyn made the call. The flop came K J 9 , and it was checked to Negreanu. He fired 3,600, and Kostritsyn called again. The 4 fell on the turn, and action was the same, but with Negreanu’s 9,200 getting called. The river brought the 10 and action went check-check. Negreanu tabled the top set of kings, and was disgusted by the horrendous river card for his hand. However, three kings were good, and Negreanu raked in the nearly 40,000-chip pot. In the levels following the pot, Negreanu was bleeding chips, eventually getting all in with the A 3 against the pocket kings of his opponent. Negreanu failed to improved and he was gone.
