Screw It!
On a heads-up flop of A?6?Q?, Keith Lehr led out for 12,000 and the action was then on his opponent, Daniel Negreanu.
"Ok, so if he's got three aces and the nut flush draw, he's not there yet, I call!" He exclaimed as he tossed in the chips.
The turn then came the Q? and the action was on Lehr.
"All of it," he announced as he put the rest of his stack in, covering Negreanu.
"Why did you bet all of it? You know I'm not going to fold," Negreanu began to engage in some table talk with his opponent.
After some more back-and-forth, Negreanu finally made the call to put himself at risk.
"You there already? Because I am," Negreanu asked as he tabled his cards and got his vlog camera ready.
"Nope," Lehr replied as he did the same, minus the camera.
Daniel Negreanu: 7?6?6?4?
Keith Lehr: A?J?9?9?
"Ok no nine, no queen!" Negreanu shouted at the board, which completed with a safe 10? to give him the win for the double-up while Lehr was now the one left short.
"I was seriously considering folding that!" Negreanu said, "But then I was like, screw it!"
