King Negreanu

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu is hanging on to his tournament life by a thread with just 800 chips left but is still in high spirits, contributing to a discussion on how to play kings. Fellow Canadian Radu Zamostean had just won a small pot with kings, flopping a set on an ace high board. Unfortunately no one had an ace and he showed his cards in frustration. It was the fact that he had flatted a raise pre-flop and let other players into the pot that irked Anthony Nicholls who didn’t like the play. “You don’t want four players in the pot. They could hit two pair or all sorts.”

Daniel disagreed. “I like the play. I like danger.” He said. “Bring me forty players in the pot. I have kings!”

A few hands later Negreanu was all in, and wouldn’t you know he was called by Nicholls. “I have kings.” said Negreanu turning over the {k-Spades} and a beat later the {2-Hearts}. Nicholls showed {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and a chuckling Kid Poker doubled up.
