Negreanu Falling Back Down

From early position, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi raised to 50,000. Action folded over to Daniel Negreanu on the button and he reraised to 156,000. Mizrachi called when play got back to him and the flop came down {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

On the flop, Mizrachi checked and Negreanu bet 125,000. Mizrachi called. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Mizrachi led out for 125,000. Negreanu folded in disgust and dropped back to 572,000. Mizrachi moved over two million.

On the next hand, Negreanu opened with a raise to 52,000 from the cutoff seat and Rick Salomon called on the button. Chamath Palihapitiya called from the small blind and Paul Phua called fromt he big blind.

With four players in, the flop came down paired {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Action checked to Negreanu and he bet 82,000. Salomon and Palihapitiya folded before Phua made he call.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and both players checked. They also checked the {Q-Hearts} on the river.

Phua tabled the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Negreanu mucked his hand, once again unable to produce a winner. Negreanu dropped back under 500,000 in chips.
