{4-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{J-Spades}

The big blind bet 3,000 and Negreanu promptly called. The turn brought the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. The big blind bet 10,000 and again, Negreanu looked him up. The river came the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

. Without hesitation, the big blind pushed out 20,000 chips. Daniel took his time, at one point saying "Why does that scare me so much? (as he pointed to the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

) Eventually Negreanu made the call. The big blind turned over {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

but Daniel had that beat holding the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

. Negreanu is now a force with 95,000.
