Negreanu Drops Some Chips Early

After winning a bracelet earlier in a limit hold'em event at this year's Series, Daniel Negreanu will be looking to do the same here in the shootout.

From early position, Negrenau raised. Only the big blind called and the two players saw the flop come down {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. The big blind checked, as did Negreanu.

The turn came the {9-Diamonds}, pairing the board. The big blind bet out and Negreanu called.

The river was the {A-Diamonds} and the big blind bet out again. Negreanu called, only to see the big blind show him {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for a flopped straight. Negreanu mucked and is down to 2,400.
