2884 Daniel Negreanu Doubles Thru Erik Seidel
In Hand #68, Daniel Negreanu (foreground, right) four-bets all in with [QcQh], and winds up racing against the [AhKd] of Erik Seidel (foreground, left). The board comes [Jd6d6c2h9d], and Negreanu wins the pot with his pocket queens to double up in chips.

2891 Randy Dorfman Out in 7th Place
In Hand #81, Randy Dorfman (foreground, left) limp-shoved all in from middle position against Erik Seidel (center left). Dorfman turned over [8c8s], but he’d need to improve against Seidel’s [JcJs]. The board came [9d4c4hJhQh], and Seidel won the pot with a full house (jacks full of fours) to eliminate Dorfman in seventh place.

With six players remaining and only five getting paid, the $100,000 buy-in WPT Super High Roller began the biggest money bubble in WPT history. One player would go home empty handed, while the other five would be guaranteed at least $224,160.

2905 Daniel Negreanu vs Erick Lindgren
In Hand #99, Vivek Rajkumar (not pictured) raises to 75,000, Daniel Negreanu (left) reraises from the button to 205,000, and Erick Lindgren (right) four-bets from the big blind to 600,000.

Rajkumar folds, and Negreanu thinks for a while and tells Lindgren, "Somehow you’re gonna end up with a seven-high straight." Negreanu folds, and Lindgren takes the pot.
