An Orbit with Negreanu
We just watched a full orbit up at Daniel Negreanu's table. When the orbit began, the Team PokerStars Pro had 57,600 in chips. Things started off pretty promising, as Negreanu was involved in three out of the first four hands, but after that it cooled off a bit with Negreanu folding the last five hands. Here's what happened.
On the first hand we watched, Negreanu was in the big blind to start. A player in middle position limped in for 1,000 and the small blind completed the bet. Negreanu put in a raise from the big blind to 4,500 and won the pot.
On the next hand, action folded to Marcelo Dabus in the cutoff seat and he raised to 2,400. Negreanu three-bet from the small blind to 5,700, much like he did a little while ago when he ended up doubling Dabus. This time, no one wanted to play any further with Negreanu and they all folded to him preflop.
On the third hand of the orbit, Negreanu folded along with everyone else to a shove from the under-the-gun player.
On the fourth hand, the hijack seat raised to 2,200, Negreanu called from the cutoff seat and the big blind called. The flop came down 
and action checked to the preflop raiser. He bet 3,200, Negreanu called and the big blind check-raised all in for 11,100. The hijack seat called and then Negreanu folded.
The big blind showed the 
and the hijack seat the 
. The turn was the 
and river the 
to give the big blind the double up.
From there, Negreanu folded the next five hands to complete the orbit and move back into the big blind.
