Daniel Negreanu (as seen in a previous event)

Jeff Madsen sat down to Daniel Negreanu's right, so we stuck around to see if anything would happen.

The gut feeling was right, although Madsen was only a spectator, sitting between the two main characters. A player in the lojack opened to 1,300 and Negreanu called, saying, "How much do you want?"

"Fours cards, anything can happen," Negreanu added.

The big blind joined the action and they went three ways to the flop. The original raiser asked what a pot is and bet out the max, making it 4,150. Negreanu had a strong response, "I raise pot," re-potting it to 16,600.

The big blind wasn't willing to let his hand go that fast, admitting, "I have a big hand."

Negreanu immediately replied with, "Shhh," indicating that a hand shouldn't be discussed in a multi-way pot.

The player in the big blind folded and the lojack asked Negreanu how much he had left behind. It was 20,700. In the meantime, the player in the big blind stood up, took his phone, and started shooting a video of Negreanu.

Negreanu liked that, posing like a Popeye the Sailor, showing his biceps.

The lojack called and, when the hit the turn, he moved all in to put Negreanu at risk. Negreanu called right away.
