Negreanu Snags One Early

[user198174]

Over in the Pavilion room at table #137 action folded around to David Steicke in the cutoff, and he opted to raise it to 1,225. Daniel Negreanu sat on the button and he three-bet to 3,600. The blinds released and action found its way back to Steicke, who made the call.

The flop came {K-Spades} {5-Spades} {k-Diamonds} allowing for Steicke to check and Negreanu to continue for 2,700. A call was made and both players were allowed to see the turn.

It was here on fourth street that the {2-Hearts} made an appearance bringing with it a repeat of action with Steicke check-calling a bet of 5,700 from Negreanu.

The {a-Clubs} on the river saw the same action take place with Steicke checking and Negreanu firing out a bet of 10,500. Steicke didn't call as quickly this time, rather spending a good 45 seconds pondering his current situation. Eventually though Steicke did make the call. Negreanu was first to show and he exposed {K-Hearts} {6-Hearts} for three of a kind sixes. Steicke couldn't counter this and he mucked his cards, awarding Negreanu the substantial pot.
