Super Dario Runs into a Goomba Named Negreanu

Perhaps the scarf was a little too tight today...
Perhaps the scarf was a little too tight today...
On a board showing {Q-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {J-Hearts}, Dario Minieri attempted to make a move against Daniel Negreanu holding nothing but {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, but Negreanu looked him up with a pocket pair of kings.

"He needs a nine," said Negreanu before the dealer burned one and tabled the river, the {8-Spades}.

"Dario, I only bluffed you once," said Kid Poker after the match. Though he sounded serious, many in the crowd got a good laugh out of Daniel's remark.

Negreanu will play the winner of the Scotty Nguyen v. Ted Forrest match-up in the Round of 16.
