Daniel Weinand Tells The Story of Negreanu's First(?) Bustout
Level 5
: 150/300, 50 ante
Daniel Weinand was overheard telling the story of one of Negreanu's bustouts from the tournament, though it's not clear whether it was Negreanu's first or second bullet.
"He opened under the gun for 400," Weinand explained. "The hijack shoved all in. Then, either the cutoff or the button re-shoved. I was in the big blind with queens, and Negreanu called."
Negreanu was holding 
and was up against Weinand's 
as well as another pair of and a pair of 
, as well.
"He almost made a straight," Weinand explained. "And on the first hand, he shoved with ten-eight off-suit and doubled up against sixes!"
Negreanu has already rebought and taken a seat in the Pavilion Room, and it appears as if he's taking a relaxed approach to this tournament.
