Get Chips or Go Home

One last big hand before play concluded, involving Daniel Negreanu. Said Negreanu during the hand, "I just want to get chips or go home," explaining if things didn't work out that would free him up to play the $10,000 World Championship Limit Hold'em event tomorrow.

On a flop of {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Negreanu bet 6,000 from the big blind, David Williams raised to 21,000, and Negreanu called. The turn came the {9-Hearts}. Negreanu checked, Williams bet 40,500, and Negreanu called with his remaining chips.

Negreanu: {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Williams: {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{K-Spades}

The river was the {7-Diamonds}. Negreanu's straight doubled him up, so it looks like he'll be back here in Event No. 28 tomorrow.

Staff rushed us out before we could count up the chips, but come back a little later for updated, official chip counts for all of the remaining players.
