Mortensen: / -fold

Opponent 2: / -fold

Action was over to Mortensen's opponent on fifth street and he tossed out a bet. Mortsenen called and watched as his opponent fired again on sixth.

Negreanu Soars Early

Level 4

Stud 8

"Did you see that?!" Daniel Negreanu asked us as we arrived at his table to see him stacking up a monster pot.

Unfortunately, we did not catch the hand, but he was kind enough to recount some of the action.

"There were four bets on sixth," said Negreanu. "I made a wheel."

Negreanu's wheel scooped the pot and he's now up to about 10,300 in chips. Immediately after the hand, "KidPoker" burst into song, using the tune of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'".

"And I'm freeeee. Free rollin.'"

Daniel Negreanu @RealKidPoker
