After Mark Simon showed Daniel Negreanu that he'd bluffed him just one level previously, the railbirds were well aware of the dynamic developing between the two players.
Simon raised from middle position to 350,000. Negreanu in the hijack three-bet to 1,000,000 and the action was back on Simon. After thinking for some time his cards eventually hit the muck.
Negreanu took back some of the chips he'd lost to Simon previously as the players continue to battle on.

The players have gone on a 20-minute break.
Five-time bracelet winner and 1998 Main Event Champion Scotty Nguyen will miss the first half of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as the Vietnamese-American poker icon recovers from surgery.
Nguyen, always a fan-favorite of WSOP, took to Twitter earlier this week to announce he was undergoing surgery for slipping rib syndrome, a condition that can cause severe chest pain in addition to "a slipping, clicking, or popping sensation in the lower chest," according to an article published in Psychopharmacology Bulletin.
But it's not all over, baby. Nguyen tweeted today to let his fans know that the surgery was a success and that he hopes to recover in time for the second half of the WSOP.

“I want to let you guys know the surgery (recovery) is going so well," Nguyen said in a video. "Right now, on both sides (it) is sore and swollen and I have trouble to get in and out of bed. But I have my wife, Julie, she (is) right there to help me sitting up or standing up.”
“I love all of you, baby. See you in the second half at the World Series in Vegas.”
