Something Goofy

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu talks as much as he raises but just now he decided to give one up. We caught the action on the flop when Negreanu bet 16,500 after Matthew Ashton had checked. Negreanu was chatting to Ashton the entire time while the Brit tried to maintain his straight face.

Ashton ultimately called after which the turn brought the {5-Hearts}. Ashon checked again and Negreanu said, "Let's try something goofy now," as he threw out 29,500. Ashton tanked again after which he made the call.

The river brought the {9-Clubs} and Ashton checked once more.

"White flag! I wave the white flag," Negreanu said right before he checked behind and turned over {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, "I missed," he added.

Ashton showed {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs} and took down this pot while Negreanu still remains far above the average stack.
