Negreanu Gets Caught, Then Gets Lucky

Kevin Taylor

Action started with a player in middle position who raised it up to 3,300. It got around to Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff, and he raised it up to 7,800. The next player to act on the button moved all in for 19,600, and it was back to the original raiser. He folded, and as soon as he did, Negreanu burst out into laughter, saying "well you caught me!". The math said to call, so Negreanu moved the chips in, and the cards were tabled.

Negreanu: {q-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}

Negreanu joked "I'm in great shape!" as he was clearly happy to simply have a live card with his queen. The flop brought no help, coming {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {j-Spades} . The turn brought the {2-Spades} , and Negreanu would need a miracle to collect the bounty. Well that miracle came with the {q-Spades} on the river. "There it is" Negreanu said as he collected the chips, upping his stack to 150,000.
