Negreanu Doing Work
Daniel Negreanu opened to 36,000 from middle position, and he found calls from Andrew Lichtenberger (cutoff) and Eugene Katchalov (big blind) to go three ways to the flop. The dealer fanned , and a continuation bet of 70,000 chips was enough for Negreanu to take it down without contest.
On the next hand, Negreanu came in with the same raise, and this time only Katchalov called, out of position once again. The small blind checked the flop, and Negreanu checked behind. The turn drew another check from Katchalov, and this time Negreanu took his cue to bet 50,000 at the pot. Katchalov furrowed his brow and made a check-raise to 150,000 straight. Now it was Negreanu with a bit of a puzzled look, and he leaned over the table to eye up his opponent's remaining stack. Katchalov had about 445,000 left, and Negreanu slid out a tall stack of green chips to cover him with a reraise.
Katchalov quickly surrendered, and Negreanu is doing some serious work. He's up to about 2.25 million now.
