Shefer Doubles Through Negreanu

Level 10
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Max Kruse opened to 1,100 in early position and got a call from Daniel Negreanu in late position before Ariel Shefer three-bet to 3,000 in the small blind. Both opponents called and the trio went to the drawing rounds.

Shefer took one card, while Kruse and Negreanu each took two. Shefer then led out for 9,000 which got a fold from Kruse, but Negreanu moved all in, covering Shefer's 18,800 total. Shefer called and patted his hand. Negreanu deliberated briefly before opting to break his hand and draw one.

On the second and third draws, Negreanu still needed to draw one while Shefer continued to pat his hand.

Once the final draw was completed, Negreanu revealed 5x4x3x2x, while Shefer showed 7x6x4x3x2x for number two.

Negreanu squeezed for a three-across and got it, unfortunately for him it was a 6x.

"I made a straight, I get the high," joked the Poker Hall of Famer before passing his chips to Shefer.
