No Luck for Negreanu

When we arrived at Daniel Negreanu's table, he was pondering a decision, with the player on the button having his stack all-in. Negreanu thought hard as his opponent stared stoically at the felt. It was 7,800 more to go and eventually Negreanu tumbled in the call in and the two players turned their hands over.

"Well i'm glad i called," said Negreanu as his opponent turned over {8-Spades}{5-Spades}, which was not in great shape against Negreanu's {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

When the {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop was spread on the felt, Negreanu's opponent took the lead and when the turn ({a-Hearts}) and the river ({k-Spades}) changed nothing, Negreanu sent a portion of his chips in the opposite direction.
