Rocky Start for Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu's Day 4 ended especially well, but his Day 5 has begun less swimmingly. He has dropped a few chips here during the first three hands of play.
In the first, Ralph Robinson picked up a few from Kid Poker after betting Negreanu off a hand on the turn.
Then came a hand in which it folded around to Negreanu in the small blind and he raised to 29,000, and Rupert Elder called from the big blind. The flop came 
and Negreanu bet 36,000. Elder called. The turn brought the 
and another bet from Negreanu, this time for 57,000. Elder again was there with the call.
The river brought the 
and a third barrel from Negreanu for 97,000. Elder took some time before acting, then raised to 240,000 and Negreanu quickly folded.
