Daniel Negreanu is hanging on to his tournament life by a thread with just 800 chips left but is still in high spirits, contributing to a discussion on how to play kings. Fellow Canadian Radu Zamostean had just won a small pot with kings, flopping a set on an ace high board. Unfortunately no one had an ace and he showed his cards in frustration. It was the fact that he had flatted a raise pre-flop and let other players into the pot that irked Anthony Nicholls who didn’t like the play. “You don’t want four players in the pot. They could hit two pair or all sorts.”
Daniel disagreed. “I like the play. I like danger.” He said. “Bring me forty players in the pot. I have kings!”
A few hands later Negreanu was all in, and wouldn’t you know he was called by Nicholls. “I have kings.” said Negreanu turning over the and a beat later the . Nicholls showed . The board ran out and a chuckling Kid Poker doubled up.
It's the end of the road for Daniel Negreanu he was all in with against Stephen Woodhead's but the latter spiked a nine to win the pot. Anthony Nicholls was also all in during the same hand but the dealer mucked his cards before we could see what he had.

Kelly quickly moved all in and started the chat. “I don’t know what to say,” he exclaimed, “I just want all your chips. No I want you to stay at the table really.” How much this influenced Girigan’s decision is hard to say, but he called and tabled and was in desperate shape against the flopped top set of Kelly’s . The turn and river bust Girigan and added nicely to Kelly’s stack.
