Event 20 Over! Kid Poker Puts Opponent to Bed! 1 year ago

Silencing the critics and adding a fourth bracelet to his already jewelery-laden wrist, Daniel Negreanu has taken down this tournament and $204,874. Ugur Marangoz is out in second, pocketing $126,671.

The Stunner

Negreanu took control of this match in a betting and raising filled hand a few moments before this event concluded. With a mono-chrome flop and action on each street Negreanu showed down the flopped flush and relieved Marangoz of most of his stack.

The Sleeper

Just a few hands later Negreanu finished what he had started, limping on the button and getting a check from Marangoz in the big blind. The flop came down Kd 5d 5s and both players checked. The turn was the Qh and two more checks followed. The 3h hit the river and Marangoz led out with a bet. Negreanu raised and Marangoz called all-in.

Negreanu turned over 9s 5h which was enough to send Marangoz's cards to the muck.

Event 20 - Heads-Up! 1 year ago

We are headed to heads up! Daniel Negreanu has pushed David Baker out of the way in his quest for a fourth WSOP Bracelet and the Candian will go mano-amano with Ugur Marangoz.

Baked (3rd)

David Baker is our third place finisher and Daniel Negreanu will go into heads up with the chip lead. Negreanu raised it up pre flop and Baker made the call sending the two to the 10h 8h 2s flop. Kid Poker led out and Baker called bringing us the Ah turn. The Team PokerStars Pro led out again, but this time Baker raised. Negreanu flat called and the river came down the 9s. Negreanu bet putting Baker all in and he made the call for his tournament life.

Daniel announced he had the straight showing the Q-J and Baker was out. He'll grab $78,624 for his efforts.

Going into heads up Negreanu has a comfortable chip lead over Ugur Marangoz.
