"Tight" Negreanu Boosts Stack Further
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 16,000 and Chin Wei Lim three-bet to 40,000. What followed was the announcement of Negreanu "I am all-in" as he grabbed the smart phone to record a potential showdown.
Lim, however, quickly surrendered and Negreanu clarified he was playing rather tight, then showed "a good hand" in J?J?.
"Just trying to sneak into the money," Negreanu added and Lim nodded "me too".
On Day 1a, Lim had been one of two players eliminated on the money bubble and will certainly hope to avoid the same fate this time.
