Negreanu Pays It Off
Level 1
Pot-Limit Omaha
Daniel Negreanu raised to 500 from the cutoff in his self-proclaimed best game and received one caller in Steven Loube on the button.
The flop fell 10?6?9? and was checked by both players. Negreanu announced "pot" on the subsequent 2? turn and Loube flicked in the 1,500 chips to call.
Negreanu slowed down when the 7? river arrived and checked it to his opponent, who made a pot-sized bet of his own for 4,500 chips.
"What do you have?" Negreanu asked.
"The ace of hearts," Loube replied.
"It's hard to make a flush," Negreanu argued before putting in the call.
Loube showed down A?Q?4?3? for the nuts, after which Negreanu took one last look at his cards before tossing them into the muck.
