Heath and Negreanu Go to War

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Ben Heath got the better of Daniel Negreanu early on, but the PokerStars Team Pro won the latest battle between the pair.
Ben Heath got the better of Daniel Negreanu early on, but the PokerStars Team Pro won the latest battle between the pair.

What had been a small ball pot suddenly began snowballing at the table where Ben Heath and Daniel Negreanu sit next to each other, and it was between the popular pair that the action took place.

We joined the action with just 1,900 in the pot and a flop of {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} on display. Heath bet 750, and was raised to 1,500 by the PokerStars Team Pro. Heath re-raised to 4,400, and Negreanu called.

The turn card was the {Q-Hearts}, which both men checked, but on the river of {6-Hearts}, Heath fired out a bet of 3,800. Negreanu called it, and Heath showed {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}. That bottom pair wasn't good enough, however, as Negreanu had flopped trips with {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}. They swap positions in the chip counts.
