Negreanu Is Here! ... Errrr, He Was Here

Level 5

On break from Event #37, the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, Daniel Negreanu decided to try and build a stack in this tournament. He sat down and immediately told the table he was going to play reckless and that nobody should fold when he is in a hand.

True to his word, Negreanu decided to raise in his very first hand to 750 while playing PLH. Everyone folded and Negreanu flipped over {k-}{k-}. He seemed in disbelief everyone folded.

A few hands later it was time for PLO and Negreanu three-bet from the big blind. The original raiser decide to pot it up and they eventually got all the money in. Negreanu's {k-}{k-}{x-}{x-} was unable to catch up to the {a-}{a-}{5-}{2-} of his opponent and out he went after just a couple of hands.
