Negreanu Slips
Andrew Robl opened for 6,000 on the button and Daniel Negreanu furrowed his brow before making the call.
They both checked the flop and saw a turn on which Negreanu, brow still creased, saw fit to bet out 8,000. Robl called.
They saw another nine on the river - the - and this time Negreanu checked. Robl bet 23,000, and after an almost endless period in the tank, Negreanu folded.
This was just the latest small-ball installment in Negreanu's slow slide though - he's at 190,000 now, to Robl's 290,000.
