Negreanu Takes One Down

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Stuart Rutter: {x-}{x-} / {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Spades} (folds on fifth)
Daniel Negreanu: {x-}{x-} / {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} / {x-}
Matt Glantz: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds} / {x-}
Todd Brunson: {x-}{x-} / {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} (folds on fourth)
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds} (folds on fifth)

Five players were still alive in the hand heading to fourth street where a flurry of action unfolded. It was checked to Daniel Negreanu who made the first bet. Everyone called back with the action back on Stuart Rutter who made it two bets. Negreanu bumped it to three bets and Matt Glantz called. Todd Brunson got out of the way and Rutter made it four bets. Negreanu, Glantz, and the fourth player called.

On fifth, the action checked to Negreanu again who threw in a bet. Glantz raised this time getting rid of the two other players. Negreanu just called and Glantz said that was the best thing that happened to him all day.

Both players checked sixth and seventh with Negreanu turning over {7-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for two pair. Glantz picked up all of his cards and sent them face down to the muck.

Just a few moments later during the next hand, Negreanu had a small brain fart. "The only thing that would have been better is if I scooped the pot."

"You did get the whole pot," the whole table said as they burst into laughter.

"Oh ya," Negreanu joined in the laughter. "I was going to say, that was an awfully large half."
