Negreanu's Missed Flush Sends Him to the Rail
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 13,500 preflop and was called by Paul Chauderson in the big blind. Things heated up on the 
flop when Chauderson checked, Negreanu bet 15,000, Chauderson check-raised, Negreanu reraised, Chauderson put in yet another raise, and Negreanu shipped for about 160,000 total. Chauderson made the call and the cards were turned up:
Negreanu: 
Chauderson: 
Chauderson had flopped a flush while Negreanu was looking for a heart that wasn't the six. The 
turn was no help and it was down to the river for Negreanu's tournament life. Spectators surrounded the table as the dealer burned and put out the 
. Just like that, Negreanu was eliminated from The Big Event.
