Lose Some, Win Some

We got to Daniel Negreanu's table in the midst a hand between him and an opponent. The board read {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and the action was on Negreanu, faced with a decision of whether or not to call 5,000.

He made the call and when the {6-Hearts} hit the river, his opponent immediately bet 10,000. Negreanu knocked over his chips Phil Hellmuth style, but with a little more cheer. He thought for a for a few moments but gave up his hand and said he folded kings, slipping to under 20,000.

The following hand, the same opponent limped under the gun and Negreanu raised to 1,200 from middle position. Action folded around to the limper and he called, bringing out a {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. The limper dark check-called 1,600 from Negreanu, and both players checked the {5-Spades} turn. The river brought the {A-Diamonds} and the opponent bet 5,000. Negreanu quickly called and saw that his {A-Spades}{K-Spades} was good, besting his opponent's {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

He's back up over 25,000.
