Negreanu Knows All The Angles
Daniel Negreanu had spiraled down a bit after dinner and when the action picked up on a board reading 8?3?J?J?, Negreanu had placed an all-in bet for his last 78,000. His opponent was thoughtful with his decision.
"Fine, I'll pay you off," the opponent said, calling.
"You have a jack, right?"
"Yah and you have eights?"
"Oh, you betcha, what do I need to dodge?"
Daniel Negreanu: 7?8?8?10?
Opponent: A?K?K?J?
Negreanu had a full house but his opponent was drawing to a jack, king or an ace. Negreanu pulled his phone out to properly document the moment but put it back on the rail after the 2? fell.
The two players went on to discuss the obligation to call there, how having a pair in the hole kills some of the opponent's outs, and how Negreanu may have still jammed there with a hand like 9x10xJxQx. Another opponent at the table summed it up, "That's a cooler there, nothing you can do!".
