Guilbert Gets it Right; Negreanu "Crushing"
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
Daniel Negreanu opened to 300 and got calls from David Archibald Douglas on the button and Johan Guilbert in the big blind.
Guilbert checked to Negreanu on the 
flop and the Canadian continued for 300 and got two calls. Guilbert bet 600 on the 
turn and Negreanu folded and Douglas called.
The river was the 
and Guilbert checked. Douglas bet 1,800 and Guilbert tank-called.
Douglas showed 
for a missed flush draw and Guilbert showed 
with a cheeky smile.
"Dammit," said Negreanu. "I had the best hand...until the river."
Negreanu sits on around 52,000 as the tournament clock ticks into Level 2. The secret to his big stack? "Small-ball poker," he said.
"Small-ball!" said Douglas, "He bets every flop; makes houses..."
