Negreanu Folds to Min-Raise Shove from Former Champ

Jason Koon, who won this event last year, opened for 18,000 under the gun and Daniel Negreanu called from the button. Both blinds folded and it was heads-up action to the flop, which went check-check.

The turn saw Koon check-call a bet of 35,000 and then he checked for a third time on the river.

Negreanu bet 100,000, and Koon, who had 200,000 total behind, moved all in. It was only another 100K to "Kid Poker," but he didn't seem happy about the spot.

He used a time extension and then folded, later claiming he had turned a set.
