"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'".
We arrived at the table to see what looked to be four bets being pulled into the middle from three players. Carlos Mortensen pulled a trey on fourth street, giving him the first action. He led out and the player with 7-2 exposed folded his hand. Mortensen's other opponent called.
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. Mortensen thought for a moment before scooping up his cards and dropping them into the muck. After losing this pot, he's now down to about 3,200 in chips.
