Negreanu Cracks Kings

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Craig Blight was in middle position and opened the action to 3,600. Daniel Negreanu defended his big blind.

The flop was {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} and Negreanu check-called Blight's bet of 5,000.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Negreanu checked. Blight fired out a bet of 15,000 and Negreanu quickly moved all in for his remaining 23,700, Blight called.

Daniel Negreanu: {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Craig Blight: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The river was the inconsequential {5-Clubs} as Blight was drawing dead versus Negreanu's straight and "Kid Poker" has now added nicely to his Day 2 starting stack. Will this be the event where Negreanu gets to shave his "Poker Playoff Beard" afterward? Stay tuned to find out!
