TerranceReid

Level 9

A-5

Daniel Negreanu raised the button and found one caller in the small blind. Both players drew two cards.

Both players checked after the first draw. The small blind stood pat and Negreanu drew two.

After the second draw, the small blind led into Negreanu and was called. The small blind stood pat and Negreanu drew one.

With the final draw complete, the big blind now checked to Negreanu who bet. After a bit of thought, the big blind called.

Negreanu showed for the winner. "I did the thing again. I peeled the last card and didn't know if it was a seven or an eight. I didn't know if I wanted a call or not. I do that a lot in no-limit. There are a lot of fun spots where you bet 1.5x pot and don't care what happens."

This time, the eight was the good kind of surprise and he took down the pot.
