Negreanu Loses Chunk

[user198174]

A player in early position raised to 1,300 and action folded around to Daniel Negreanu in the hijack position. Negreanu three-bet to 3,800. The table then folded its way back to the initial raiser who made the call.

The flop came {10-Spades} {q-Clubs} {5-Spades} and the early position player checked to start things out. Negreanu wasted no time and placed a bet of 5,700. The early position player then raised to 16,000. Negreanu asked to see the man's stack of chips and threw out a tower of orange t5,000 chips to put the man all in. Negreanu's opponent quickly called and was all in for around 17,000 more.

Negreanu: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}

Negreanu held top pair top kicker, but his opponent had bottom set of fives for the best of it. The turn came the {2-Clubs} securing the double up for Negreanu's opponent. A meaningless {4-Spades} rolled off the deck for the river and Negreanu now sits right around 100,000.
