Weird Mood for Negreanu

We walked over to find Daniel Negreanu all in for his last 9,575. The pot had 1,750 in it with the board reading {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

One opponent looked visibly ill at the decision he was faced with.

"Bet you didn't expect that!" quipped Negreanu, as he leaned over to our PokerNews reporter and whispered, "I know exactly what he has!"

His opponent eventually folded, as did Brett Richey and his {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. "Oh I had an eight," stated Negreanu and tabled his {8-Spades} followed by a slowly squeezed out {K-Spades} before he mucked.

"I was way ahead!" muttered his opponent as he shook his head and explained to the table that he had folded {k-?}{10-Clubs}.

"That was a weird bet," he muttered once again. "I'm in weird mood," stated Negreanu as he went back to exchanging friendly banter with Richey.
