Negreanu In Control

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu
In a raised pot Chad Brown, Daniel Negreanu and David Steicke all took a flop of {9-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The action checked around and they saw a free turn card of a repeat {6-Diamonds}. Steicke led out with a feeler bet of 600. Brown folded and Negreanu tried to take control of the pot with a raise to 1,800 total. Steicke thought for a moment and made the call.

The river brought the {K-Hearts} which appeared to be a good card for Steicke as he led at the pot once again, this time with a bet of 1,700. Negreanu snap-called and Steicke flipped {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a rivered top pair. However Negreanu tabled {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for trips which was good to take down the sizable pot.

Negreanu is now back to around 17,000 chips.
