Guilbert Gets it Right; Negreanu "Crushing"

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu opened to 300 and got calls from David Archibald Douglas on the button and Johan Guilbert in the big blind.

Guilbert checked to Negreanu on the {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop and the Canadian continued for 300 and got two calls. Guilbert bet 600 on the {8-Spades} turn and Negreanu folded and Douglas called.

The river was the {q-Clubs} and Guilbert checked. Douglas bet 1,800 and Guilbert tank-called.

Douglas showed {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a missed flush draw and Guilbert showed {j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} with a cheeky smile.

"Dammit," said Negreanu. "I had the best hand...until the river."

Negreanu sits on around 52,000 as the tournament clock ticks into Level 2. The secret to his big stack? "Small-ball poker," he said.

"Small-ball!" said Douglas, "He bets every flop; makes houses..."
