Negreanu Moves From PLO to Hold-Em

Claudio Elizalde

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and Daniel Negreanu had his camera out, sweating both his opponents' cards and how they affected his outs.

Daniel Negreanu: K?Q?Q?2?
Will Berry: A?9?6?8?
Nicolas Gola: K?Q?2?2?

Gola was the only one with a hefty stack and put both his opponents at risk. The flop ran out K?6?J? putting Gola and Negreanu ahead with the same made hand. The A? on the turn was a dagger to both of them as Berry now took the lead. An inconsequential 7? fell on the river.

Berry found a triple up and Negreanu was left chopping a measly pot with Gola; this left Negreanu with only 16,000 chips. He did fold a few hands before getting it in three ways shortly after but to no avail.

Negreanu was in a hurry to get his pay out, as he intends on registering the $10,000 Limit Hold'em event that's going on today. This is a variant he has years of experience in and, as always, we'll have to keep an eye on him to catch his next deep run.
