Negreanu Taking on the Russian
Daniel Negreanu raised from the hijack and ran into the Russian force known as Sergey Rybachenko, who three-bet from the button. The blinds got out of the way while "Kid Poker" made the call. The action then went check-bet-raise-reraise-call on the 
flop, leading to the 
turn. Suprisingly both players checked, as they did on the 
river.
Negreanu showed 
for a missed flush draw. Rybachenko then showed 
for a missed flush draw of his own, but it was his king that made the difference and gave him the hand.
