Negreanu Takes From McDonald
Sam Stein raised to 17,000 from the cutoff, but watched as Mike McDonald three-bet to 42,000 on the button. From the big blind, Daniel Negreanu put in a four-bet to 76,000, forcing Stein out. McDonald, though, had other ideas and five-bet to 150,000. Negreanu put an end to the raising with a call, and followed that with a check in the dark.
The flop came down 
and McDonald bet 77,000. Negreanu raised to 207,000 and McDonald gave it up, giving the pot to Negreanu.
