Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 8th Place ($226,086)
Daniel Negreanu min-raised to 500,000 under the gun and action folded around to the United Kingdom's Jamie Dwan, who moved all in from the small blind.
Negreanu grabbed his camera to document the action for his daily vlogs, which was a clear indicator he was about to call off the 2,200,000 he had behind. Indeed, that's just what he did and it was off to the races.
Daniel Negreanu: A♦K♦
Jamie Dwan: 9♦9♣
It was a flip and Negreanu was looking to improve to stay alive. The Q♠J♥4♣ flop gave him a Broadway straight draw to a ten, but both the 5♦ turn and 3♠ river bricked for the eight-time bracelet winner to send him out the door in eighth place.
"Enough points to lock it in for sure," Bryn Kenney offered. He was referring to Team DNegs in the 25K Fantasy. They currently sit on top, and with both Negreanu and Kenney cashing this tournament, they'll extend that lead to a potentially uncatchable margin.
