Chan Knocks Negreanu Down a Peg

Johnny Chan
Johnny Chan

Johnny Chan raised to 6,000 on the button, and Daniel Negreanu bumped it up to 20,000 from the small blind. Barry Greenstein quickly folded his big blind, and Chan called the extra 14,000.

Flop: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} - Negreanu checked, and Chan checked behind.

Turn: {q-Diamonds} - Negreanu checked again, this time, Chan fired 30,000. Negreanu checked his cards again and made the call.

River: {2-Hearts} - Negreanu checked a third street. Chan grabbed a handful of pink chips and tossed them in for a bet of 60,000. Negreanu spent a few minutes talking through the hand. He said it was silly since Chan probably had spades, but he convinced himself to fold. Negreanu dropped to 160,000 while Chan chipped up to 200,000, taking over the chip lead.

Hachem Muscles Harman

Joe Hachem raised to 8,000 preflop, and from the small blind, Jen Harman reraised to 18,000. Hachem froze in thought for a few silent minutes before announcing he was all in. A call would put Harman at risk of elimination, and it didn't take her very long to decide it wasn't a risk she wanted to take. Harman folded, and Hachem added to his stack.

Seed Sees a Flop

Huck Seed raised to 8,000, and Daniel Negreanu defended his big blind, meaning Seed would get to see one of his first flops since they moved to the ESPN stage. It came out {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Negreanu checked to Seed. He c-bet 13,000, and Negreanu let him take the pot.

More Check-Folding for Negreanu

Johnny Chan raised to 6,000 from the button, and Daniel Negreanu flatted in the small blind. Barry Greenstein folded his big blind, and they went heads up to a {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop. The action proceeded exactly like the last time Negreanu was heads up from the small blind with Chan. Both players checked the flop. Negreanu checked again after the {q-Diamonds} turn, and Chan bet 12,000. Just like last time, Negreanu flatted. He checked once more when the {a-Hearts} fell on the river. Chan bet 25,000, and Negreanu muttered to himself before shrugging his shoulders and folding his hand. Negreanu started the level with 210,000, but he's down to 135,000 45 minutes later.
