Shulman bet out on the flop and then called the raise from Negreanu.
Both players appear to have backed off once again come the turn, checking both that and the river. Both players turned their hands over, but woefully the dealer did not think to show them to the camera so all we know comes from TD Jack Effel: "Daniel shows a pair of sixes and it's good to take the pot."

Right away Negreanu moved all in over a standard Barry Shulman preflop raise - uncalled as his previous three goes at getting them all in the middle have been.
The next hand got to a flop: . Check to Negreanu on the button now, who bet 275k, again greeted with a fold. This time he looked a little frustrated about it, saying, "Yes that's the flop!" rubbing his cards together before throwing them back to be shuffled yet again. I think he would have been quite happy to commit the lot there too, but Shulman's being very careful to avoid doing that and giving his wily opponent another chance to get back in the game.

There seems to have been a slight discrepancy between the counts on the official screen which we have been working with and the actual real chips on the table.

A slightly larger than usual pot saw a limp-checked flop of which neither player bet . On the turn Negreanu checked and Shulman bet 200k. Negreanu made the call.
The river was the and again, check to Shulman, who bet 300k... a slight pause, but another call, although Negreanu mucked when he saw Shulman's winning for rivered trips. I wonder what Negreanu had - we couldn't see if he flashed his hand while mucking.

He's made the move three times already over the course of this heads up - no interest each time from Barry Shulman. But Daniel Negreanu is now down to round about 1,800,000 in chips and although he's picked up two sets of blinds in quick succession, any reraised pot he plays may well be either a) his last or b) the start of yet another comeback to add to the one which brought him here in the first place.

The flop which got the action was a surprisingly non-threatening looking . 400k was stacked in front of Shulman and button Negreanu was thinking about what to do about that. Suddenly he announced he was all in, and a Mexican Wave style "Ooooh," filtered around the room. But Shulman passed, handed the pot over, and play continues apace.
