Daniel Negreanu Felted

Daniel Negreanu opened the action with a raise to 1,800 from middle position and the player in the hijack made the call. Belarusian high roller Anton Astapau on the button made the call as well, and the small blind came along to see a flop also.

With on the flop, the small blind checked and Negreanu bet 3,700. Just Astapau called, both other players folded.

Negreanu bet another 7,200 on the turn and again Astapau called.

The completed the board and Negreanu checked with about 26,500 behind. Astapau announced all in verbally, and slid a stack of 5,000 chips forward.

"Oh no! Anything but that card!" Negreanu exclaimed. "Or maybe you're bluffing; missed flush draw, missed straight draw." Negreanu wasn't so sure of what to do just yet; "I'm gonna need a minute on this guys." Negreanu leaned over and asked "You bluff right? Russians bluff right? Good spot to. Or you might have ace eight of diamonds" Negreanu said, "You wouldn't go all in with that right? Or maybe you would!"

Astapau didn't reply at all, and just sat there motionless while Negreanu tried to make up his mind. Then, earlier than we expected, Negreanu all of the sudden tossed in some chips to indicate the call.

Astapau quickly showed his for a turned set.

"Oh! Nice, you win" Negreanu said with a smile, "I had kings."

Negreanu showed his and made his way to the exit, "And that's that" Negreanu said with a smile while walking past Isaac Haxton. Astapau has about 140,000.
