Ginger Steals Negreanu's Stack, Soul

[user25067]

Limit Hold'em:

Daniel Negreanu raised from the button and Adam Friedman, a ginger*, called from the big blind.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. Friedman checked to Negreanu, who bet. Friedman called, and they saw the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

on the turn. Friedman check-called another bet from Negreanu. The river brought the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and Friedman checked again. Negreanu bet, Friedman raised, and Negreanu paid him off.

Friedman turned up {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

for the straight, Negreanu's two pair, kings and tens up in flames.

Negreanu is on life support now with only 5,100 in chips.
