Negreanu Loses a Chunk

Kevin Taylor

Action started with Gwennael Grandmougin raising to 32,000 in early position. Daniel Negreanu came along, as did JP Kelly out of the big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts} {j-Clubs} {6-Spades} , and Kelly checked to Grandmougin, who fired out 44,000. Negreanu was the only caller, and they went heads up to the turn, the {6-Clubs} . Grandmougin checked, and Negreanu took the opportunity to bet out 60,000. Grandmougin thought for about 20 seconds before moving all in for 401,000.

Negreanu immediately put his head on his hand, and started shaking his head. Negreanu barely had Grandmougin , so it was a decision for pretty much all his chips. He sat back in his chair, crossed his arms, and after about two minutes of tanking, folded his hand.

Grandmougin shoots up to 669,000 after the hand, while Negreanu falls to 343,000.
