No-Look Negreanu Eliminated
On a quick break from Event #26, the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six Max, Daniel Negreanu took his seat at Table #363 and was out five minutes later. We arrived at the table and the boards would eventually look like this.
Daniel Negreanu: {X}{X}/
Chris Grigorian: {X}{X}/
It became clear that Negreanu had been playing the hand blind as on 6th street, Grigorian and Negreanu exchanged dark bets and raises, culminating with Daniel's tournament life at stake. He was happy to see his down cards of for a pair of tens with a low draw. Grigorian turned over for a made 7-5 low, with outs to a straight.
Negreanu peeled seventh street and turned over the for a usually good 7-6-5-3-2 low, but not in this case. Grigorian flipped over the , making a straight and scooping the pot.
"That was fun," said Negreanu. "Back to the other tournament."
Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian is up to about 5,000.
