Negreanu Chops With Madsen, Won't Bet on Hennigan
Daniel Negreanu: A?7?5? / K?6?4?J?
Jeff Madsen: A?7?2? / 6?Q?5?10?
Yueqi Zhu: XxXx / 3?3?Q?J? / Xx - folded on seventh street
Christopher Vitch called the bring-in and Daniel Negreanu completed as Jeff Madsen and Yueqi Zhu called before Vitch got out of the way.
"Don't see that every day," Vitch said about his limp-fold.
"That's what happens when you see these two are in a pot!" Negreanu said about his callers.
Zhu led out after pairing on fourth street and Madsen and Negreanu both called. All three players then checked on the next two streets.
Negreanu bet on seventh street and only Madsen called. Negreanu showed ace-king-high and a low to take the high as Madsen had him pipped for the low pot.
As the dealer split the pot, John Hennigan took a seat and Allen Kessler asked from another table if Negreanu would be interested in buying him as part of a side bet.
"Who, this guy? He might just get up and leave in the middle of the tournament!" Negreanu exclaimed.
"That's the smartest thing anyone's said all summer," laughed Hennigan.
After seeing the showdown, Hennigan added, "By the way, I won't be buying you."
