The Nine High
Daniel Negreanu has never truly got going today, but his latest double through could be the one to see him hit that next gear.
All in on a flop, Negreanu announced "Nine high" as he showed .
"Ah, the 'nine high'," added another player.
I believe JC Tran was the man holding top pair, his ahead, but vulnerable against Kid Poker's opened-ended straight flush draw.
With the turn coming the to improve his hand to two pair, Negreanu had more outs than a tennis match, one of which duly arrived on the river to double him through.
A quick glance down at his chips reveals that Negreanu now has something around the 85,000 mark.
