Multi-Tabling

We found Daniel Negreanu in his chair, while his much more important event is on break in the main room. Negreanu is now three-handed for another bracelet in Event #14, but he made the trek to the Brasilia Room to play a few hands over here.

We pick up his action in a heads-up pot on the river with the board reading {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. His lone opponent checked, then called a bet when Negreanu fired. Kid Poker turned over {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} having flopped threes full.

Across the felt, table mate Mike Matusow yelled, "Daniel don't waste time flopping sets and boats!" Negreanu is up to 35,000 now, enough chips to let himself get blinded down while he tends to more important business.
