Negreanu Losing Ground

[user66118]

Daniel Negreanu raised from middle position, and Masayoshi Tanaka made the call from the big blind. He took two cards and Negreanu took three. Tanaka put out a bet, and Negreanu called. He would need two more cards while Tanaka stood pat.

After the second draw, Tanaka bet once again, Negreanu raised this time, and Tanaka called.
Negreanu was the one standing pat now, and Tanaka figured he needed one card. Both men checked on the end, and Tanaka turned over 8-7-5-3-2. Negreanu said he had made a ninety-six, and he slid his cards into the muck.

Just a few minutes later, Negreanu would lose his second consecutive pot versus Tanaka, sliding down to 16,000.
