Negreanu Slipping
Daniel Negreanu hasn't been having the best level so far.
In a recent hand, a player in middle position opened for 9,500 and was called by Negreanu in the hi-jack and another player in the cutoff.
The flop came 
and all three players checked. The turn brought a 
and the original raiser checked again, prompting a 20,000 bet from Negreanu. The player on the cutoff folded but the player in middle position re-raised enough to put Negreanu all in.
"Aww, why did I bet?" Negreanu lamented. Negreanu tanked for a bit and then folded. His opponent flipped over 
for two-pair and a flush draw.
"Wow, you have me crushed," Negreanu said. "I had seven-six of clubs."
In the very next hand, Negreanu opened for 9,500 and was called by the button and big blind.
The flop came 
and the big blind checked. Negreanu c-bet for 18,000 and was called by the button. The big blind folded.
Both players checked the 
turn, however, when the 
completed the board, Negreanu checked and his opponent pushed in 70,000 - much to the dismay of Negreanu.
"What in the world is going on?" Negreanu said. "Why so much? I was gonna insta..."
Negreanu began announcing potential hands his opponent could have.
"Ace-five of spades...?" Negreanu said. He then folded. "You had a straight."
In any case, Negreanu is down to 120,000.
