Short Day for Daniel

After losing a big pot earlier with pocket tens against ace-king (all in preflop), Daniel Negreanu was trying to induce players to put chips into pots against him. After an early-position player limped in, Negreanu moved his whole stack of 2,800 chips into the middle, folding everyone else back around to the limper.

"I don't have that good of a hand -- I promise," said Negreanu. "Let's gamble buddy."

"I don't have a good hand either," replied the limper.

"Cmon," Negreanu urged. "I'll buy you a drink." It was at that point that the limper folded his hand. Negreanu flashed pocket eights.

Negreanu must have eventually received the action he was looking for. His seat is now empty.
