Negreanu Knocked Down

Kevin Taylor

We saw a swarm of cameras and rail birds surrounding Daniel Negreanu's table, so we went over to check out what was going on. We saw that there was about 65,000 in the middle, and a board that read {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {6-Spades} {a-Spades} {6-Diamonds} . Negreanu's opponent had bet out 36,000, and Negreanu was in the tank when we arrived.

He started to talk through the hand, and said that quads didn't make sense. He couldn't quite put his opponent on a hand, but he tossed in the call anyways. His opponent showed that he had all of the board, as he tabled {a-Clubs} {6-Clubs} . Negreanu mucked his hand, dropping him to 84,000.

On the very next hand, Negreanu squeezed by moving all in after an 8,000 raise and a call, but he got no action. That move got him back up to over 100,000.
