Phil Ivey: XxXx/4♣Q♠10♥K♦/Xx

After ante'ing down to a single 5,000 chip in Razz, Daniel Negreanu was forced all in on the first hand of Seven Card Stud.

Phil Ivey and Nacho Barbero called the bring-in and then checked on fourth street.

Ivey called bets from Barbero on fifth through seventh street and Barbero tabled a deuce in the hole for a full house, which got a muck from Ivey.

Negreanu hadn't looked yet, and first peeled the A♠ to improve to trip aces.

Negreanu then flipped over the 8♠, which changed nothing, but slowly peeled his final card, which turned out to be the Q♦ — improving Negreanu to a higher full house to climb to 35,000.
