Negreanu Makes the Right Fold?

Sam Cosby

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu was in a pot with another player on the flop. The player checked on the board to Negreanu who bet 300. The player called.

The turn was the and the player checked again. "I'm going to check now because I'm scared," Negreanu said as he checked.

On the river, the player bet 500.

"Why are you betting?" Negreanu asked. "Do you have an ace?"

"I don't have an ace," the player said. "If I have an ace I'll pay you $11."

"If you don't have an ace I win," Negreanu said. "What are you betting?"

Eventually Negreanu settled on a fold.

"If you didn't have an ace I win," Negreanu said. "I had two queens."

"I had two pair," the player said. "Ten seven."

"That makes sense," Negreanu said.

After that hand Negreanu dipped a little below starting stack.

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Ryan Olisar has been making deep runs all summer here at the World Series of Poker. Most recently he finished 36th in Event #21: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Six Handed). He also has one final table already this summer in Event #3: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry. Today he's off to a great start and has already tripled his stack.

In the most recent hand we saw from Olisar, a player opened to 300 and Olisar called from the button.

The flop came down and the opening raiser bet 425 into Olisar who called on the button. On the turn, the opener continued with a bet of 1,050. Olisar raised to 2,450 and got a call from the opener.

On the river the player who opened checked to Olisar. Olisar moved all in with a covering stack, more than 13,250. The player went into the tank for almost 10 minutes. He apologized to the table for taking so long. Eventually he announced a call.

"Nuts," Olisar said turning over the

His opponent looked dejected, but eventually shipped the chips over to Olisar and took his leave from the tournament.

After that hand Olisar has a huge stack here on day one as he looks for his fifth cash of the summer.
