"Negreanu's a Superstar"

Shakerchi raised under the gun, Justin Smith called to his immediate left, and Negreanu came along for the ride from the big blind as well.

They all checked the {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} flop, and were thus necessarily dealt a turn; it was the {4-Hearts}. Negreanu now bet out 40,000, and Shakerchi made the call. Smith got out of the way and thereafter appeared to be taking a nap with his head down on the table.

The river came down the {A-Clubs} and Negreanu now checked. Shakerchi checked too, and Negreanu flipped {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}; Shakerchi mucked. "Lucky," noted Negreanu. Said Matusow, the coffee apparently beginning to seep through his blood and into his brain, "Negreanu's a superstar -- bets every street, makes the nuts on the river then CHECK..." Said Negreanu, "Bet every street? Do you ever pay attention to anything?" The good-natured exchange continued, but a gap appeared in the Wall Of Media at this point, so I took my chance and escaped.
