Varnell Busts Negreanu in Massive Clash Before the Break

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu is no longer in the tournament after having busted in the very last hand before the break and it was Craig Varnell that sent the poker superstar to the rail in a massive clash. Negreanu confirmed on Twitter to what happened, and Varnell also explained what had happened.

According to Varnell, he raised on the button and was called by Negreanu in the small blind, as well as Tom Marchese in the big blind. A {9-}{4-}{3-} rainbow flop was checked to Varnell and he bet 36,000. Negreanu check-raised to 100,000 and Marchese folded, Varnell called. After the {10-Hearts} rainbow turn, Negreanu bet the pot and Varnell moved all in with the slightly superior stack to pick up a call by Negreanu.

Varnell showed {A-}{Q-}{9-}{4-} for nines and fours, Negreanu was way ahead with the {A-}{K-}{4-}{4-}. The river was a {9-} and Negreanu was eliminated in the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

"I put him on a pair and a wrap," Varnell said when the action of the new level had started again.
