Negreanu Takes a Small One From Jaffe
Level 1
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
From the cutoff, Jonathan Jaffe opened to 25,000 and Daniel Negreanu called from the small blind. Ben Tollerene called in the big blind.
The flop was 
and both Negreanu and Tollerene checked to Jaffe who put out a bet of 3,500. Negreanu called while Tollerene folded.
Both players checked on the 
turn as well as the 
river and Negreanu showed down his 
for a pair of eights. That earned him the pot as Jaffe mucked, chipping him up just a bit early here on Day 1.
