Sturm Puts Negreanu to the Test
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Leon Sturm raised to 1,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 2,800 from the small blind. Sturm made the call.
The flop came 3?2?6?, Negreanu continued for 3,200 and Sturm called, bringing the 6? turn.
Negreanu didn't slow down, and put out a bet of 7,500. Sturm called again and the river landed the 9?.
Negreanu bet again, this time for 16,000, and Sturm moved all in, putting Negreanu at risk for his tournament life.
"Alright I'm gonna need a minute for this one," said Negreanu as he began thinking out loud trying to put Sturm on a hand.
After contemplating his decision, Negreanu eventually gave up his hand saying "Well done, good hand," as he tossed his cards into the muck.
