Level 9

Daniel Negreanu: /
Opponent: / - folded

Daniel Negreanu jumped right into playing a pot and chatting with his tablemates.

"I' guess I'm not getting a two," he told his opponent, who showed a pair on the board. Negreanu bet on fourth street and his opponent called. He bet again on fifth street.

"You're drawing to an eight. See how I know that," Negreanu said. His opponent eventually released his hand and Negreanu began his tournament by dragging in a pot.
