Oh Brother!

"Surely I can only laugh about this!"
"Surely I can only laugh about this!"

With around 14,500 in the pot and the flop reading {8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} Daniel Negreanu was faced with a bet from his opponent in the small blind totalling 12,000.

Negreanu shuffled some chips, adjusted a few of his chip stacks before checking his cards once more only to announce he was all in and slide his 79,000-chip stack into the middle.

"Allright I call" stated Negreanu's opponent for his 41,400 total.

Negreanu: {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

"I'm testing a theory . . . I haven't made a flush all tournament!" added Negreanu as the dealer dealt the {7-Hearts} on the turn to give Negreanu additional outs to make a straight.

The river landed the {K-Hearts} and immediately Negreanu stood up and began a Phil Hellmuth-esque tirade.

"No straights, no flushes, no nothing!"

"This is like the thirtieth in a row this World Series!"

With Negreanu's table based on the rail and at least twenty people watching on, they all remained dead silent as he continued.

"Oh brother!"

"Never going to happen for me!"

"This is just unbelievable!"

Negreanu however is still alive with around 38,000 in chips.
