Negreanu Puts Pressure On Sasaki
Level 2
: Blinds 0/0, 200 ante
In a three-way pot with just over 9,000 in the middle on a flop showing A♣8♠6♣, Daniel Negreanu under the gun and Robert James next to act checked to Nobuaki Sasaki in middle position who bet 6,000. Only Negreanu made the call and the pair saw the Q♣ turn.
Negreanu elected to lead out for 16,000 and Sasaki went in the tank. After close to 30 seconds, Sasaki folded and the pot was shipped to Negreanu.
