Negreanu On Fumes

Level 15 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

From his short stack, Daniel Negreanu raised under the gun and was called by both Johannes Becker on the button and Dan Cates in the big blind.

Cates drew three cards, Negreanu drew two and Becker also took two.

Action was checked to Becker who bet, but he was then called by both opponents.

Cates and Negreanu each drew two, while Becker discarded just one.

Again the players checked to Becker, who bet once more. Cates called quickly, but Negreanu paused briefly before opting to call, leaving himself just 80,000 behind.

Cates took one, Negreanu needed one, and Becker stood pat.

The play was then checked through on the last betting round with Becker rolling over {9-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, which would end up being the winner.

On the following hand, Becker raised in the cutoff, with Negreanu calling in the big blind and bringing out the vlogging gear.

Both players needed two cards and then checked. They each drew two again, but this time Negreanu moved the last of his chips forward, receiving a call from Becker.

"Kid Poker" then stood pat, while Becker needed one card.

Negreanu showed {10-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}, while Becker showed {8-}{7-}{5-}{2-}, drawing very live. Unfortunately for him, he paired his seven, sending a small double-up to Negreanu, who is now battling to stay alive in the tournament.
