The river is the A , which makes Layne blatanly upset at his missed opportunity to eliminate an opponent. He gives Freddy a look and stands up from the table and begins to explain his story to an on looking Tex Barch. In mere explanation of his decision, Deeb slips up and uses a word that causes him to recieve a 10-minute penalty. With Jean-Robert Bellande and Kathy Liebert at the table as well, the players seem to disagree with the decision to give him a penalty, under the circumstances, especially when he is so short-stacked. Flack leads the resistance, and after a raise by Bellande, he plays as though he is making his decision on how to act, yet is merely delaying as opposition to Freddy's penalty. The floor men quickly catch on and the situation is resolved, yet not with out some true friendship and camaraderie being exposed by these world-class competitors.

Negreanu Wins Race
Lee Watkinson ($22,000) raises to $4,000 from under the gun. Daniel Negreanu ($9,000) goes all-in for $5,000 more. It gets folded around to Watkinson who says, "I hope it's a race," and calls. It is as Watkinson has A K , and Negreanu has 9 9 . Carlo Citrone is upset as he says he had pocket tens. He's not upset for long as both players connect on the flop (A Q 9 ). Negreanu is way ahead but now is calling for a club which would help Watkinson. Watkinson gets his help but its not a club, its the K . Kid Poker is now calling for a King which would eliminate him, but the 5 falls instead. Negreanu says, "Gimmee, Gimmee," and collects the $19,900 pot. Watkinson has $13,000.

Watkins Wins Rematch With Negreanu
Lee Watkins ($10,000) is all-in against Daniel Negreanu ($34,000). Watkins has K K and Kid Poker who just defeated Watkins ten minutes ago to double up, has 3 3 . Carlo Citrone who says he folded tens the last time these two went up against each other says this time he laid down Jacks. The flop comes A Q 6 . The J on the turn brings no help to Negreanu, just makes Citrone wince. But Citrone is once again glad he laid down his pocket pair because the 10 falls on the river giving Watkins a straight that he did not need. Watkins has $21,000 and Negreanu has $24,000.
