Negreanu's Setback

The hijack player started this recent hand out after the table folded around to him. The cutoff and the button released and action found its way on Daniel Negreanu in the small blind who made the call. The big blind also paid the price and the three players went to the flop.

The dealer fanned three cards in the middle of the felt and they looked like this, {2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Negreanu came right out of the gates and bet 2,500. The big blind folded, and the hijack player quickly raised to 7,500. Negreanu asked to see how many chips the hijack had, thought for a few moments, and made the call.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn slowed Negreanu down and he checked to the hijack. The hijack then quickly bet out 15,000. Negreanu took his time pondering what the right move was and after about 40 seconds had passed he made the call.

The river brought the {j-Spades} causing Negreanu to check. Negreanu's opponent immediately went all in for around 13,000 and Negreanu snap folded.
