Hand #76 - John Juanda

[user38449]
[user38449]
Bengt Sonnert has the button in Seat 4 and limps into the pot. John Juanda also limps from the small and Ivan Demidov checks his option in the big, creating three-way action heading into the flop: {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {K-Spades}.

Juanda leads out with a 54,000 bet that is called only by Sonnert.

The turn brings the {10-Spades} and Juanda fires again, this time making it 124,000 to go. Sonnert makes a quick call and we're off to the river -- the {Q-Diamonds}.

Both players check and at the showdown, Juanda tables {K-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for two pair, which is good enough to take down the pot.

Daniel Negreanu has the button in Seat 2. Stanislav Alekhin raises to 55,000 and Negreanu calls. The flop is {A-Hearts} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs}. Alekhin checks to Negreanu, who bets 80,000. Alekhin folds and Negreanu takes down the pot.

Hand #74 - Bengt Sonnert

Stanislav Alekhin has the button in Seat 9. Action folds around to Ivan Demidov who raises to 52,000. Daniel Negreanu makes the call from the small blind, as does Bengt Sonnert in the big and the flop comes: {8-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {A-Spades}.

All three players check both the flop and the rest of the board, which fills out {9-Hearts}, {10-Diamonds}.

At the showdown, Sonnert tables {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for a pair of tens and Negreanu and Demidov muck, giving Sonnert the checkmark.

I Said Brrrrr, It's Cold in Here!

Though the final table area here at the Empire has been heated to the temperature of a warm summer day for most of the week, things have turned rather chilly this afternoon. At the break, Daniel Negreanu traded his cornflower blue Dolce & Gabbana button-down (presently hanging from the back of my chair) for a light gray Oxford College sweatshirt and a brown baseball cap. Clearly he's not one for the old superstition of not changing one's clothes in the middle of a tournament-- an adage clearly adopted by both Bengt Sonnert and Ivan Demidov, who are wearing the same outfits they donned yesterday.

Hand #71 - Stanislav Alekhin

[user25067]
Bengt Sonnert has the button in Seat 4. Stanislav Alekhin raises to 55,000 and Daniel Negreanu calls from the cutoff. The flop is {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Alekhin leads out for 104,000 and Negreanu calls. The turn comes the {2-Diamonds}. Alekhin slows down and checks, and Negreanu checks behind. The river is the {6-Clubs}. Alekhin bets 200,000, Negreanu mucks his hand and Alekhin wins the pot.

Hand #70 - Daniel Negreanu

[user38449]
[user38449]
Daniel Negreanu has the button in Seat 2. Ivan Demidov opens the pot with a raise to 52,000. Negreanu makes the call from the button and both blinds fold, sending the action heads up to the flop: {2-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}.

Alekhin leads out with a 100,000 bet on the flop, after which Daniel quickly raises to 200,000. Alekhin makes an immediate call, bringing us to the turn: {9-Clubs}.

Alekhin then checks to Kid Poker, who leads out with a hefty 280,000 bet. After a long dwell in the tank, Alekhin folds and Negreanu rakes in his biggest pot of the day thus far.

Stanislav Alekhin has the button in Seat 9. Ivan Demidov opens for 45,000 and Bengt Sonnert calls from the big blind. The flop is {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Sonnert checks over to Demidov, who bets 66,000. Sonnert gives up his hand and Demidov wins the pot.
