Negreanu On the Warpath

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Once again we were a little late to the party, but we'll tell you what we saw. There was a board of {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} on the table when it drew our attention, and Daniel Negreanu check-called a bet from Vivek Rajkumar, somewhere around 45,000.

The dealer put the {2-Spades} down on fifth street, and Negreanu checked again. Rajkumar considered carefully before stacking out a bet of 95,000, and Negreanu instantly called. He turned up {4-Spades} {6-Clubs} for the straight, and Vivek could not beat it. "You're good," he said. "I had the best hand preflop, though."

The two traded smirks, but it's Negreanu who's laughing the loudest. He's got the biggest stack in the room -- 935,000 -- while Vivek is back down around 400,000.
