Nut Flush for Cochrane, Mysterious Origins of Negreanu's Nickname Revealed
Level 17
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Dan Cates opened on the button and Daniel Negreanu called in the small blind, as did Gavin Cochrane in the big blind.
"Daniel, why do they call you 'Kid Poker'?" Cates asked Negreanu before the flop came down.
"Because when I started I was one of the younger guys," Negreanu replied.
The flop came 
and all three players checked. Negreanu led out with a bet of 100,000 on the 
turn and Cochrane called.
"Alright, you wanna f*** with the Jungle!" Cates exclaimed before calling.
Negreanu checked on the 
river and Cochrane bet 300,000. Cates called and Negreanu folded.
"I have the second nuts," said Cates, who then mucked when Cochrane showed 
for the nut flush.
