"MadTitan" Building a Titanic Stack

Level 16 : Blinds 600/1,200, 150 ante

Justin "MadTitan" Turner opened to 2,400 and "GTbr0" three-bet to 6,300. Felix "madenspauwke" Van de Put four-bet all in to 8,975 and Turner opted to apply maximum pressure to "GTbr0" when he five-bet all in covering both players. "GTbr0" made the fold.

Felix "madenspauwke" VandePut A?Q?
Justin "MadTitan" Turner: A?Q?

Predictably the players chopped the pot after the board came out Q?7?2?A?4?. Turner currently sits on the largest chip stack in play and is the only player above 200,000 chips.

Negreanu Enters the Fray and Finds a Double

Level 14 : Blinds 400/800, 100 ante

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu raised from early position and Rod "sgolie" Fani called from late position. "Ctrlfreak1" three-bet to 4,000 from the button and Negreanu moved all in 14,800. "Ctrlfreak1" moved all in to put Negreanu at risk.

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu: A?Q?
"Ctrlfreak1": 5?4?

Negreanu was well ahead with trips on the A?A?9? flop. The K? turn left "Ctrlfreak1" drawing dead and the J? on the river was inconsequential. Negreanu secured a full double up and now has an average stack.
