Negreanu Takes Chips from Smith, Knocks Out Swarts in Single Hand

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Poker Hall of Famer Daniel Negreanu raised in early position to 200,000, and then faced an all-in bet from Frank Swarts, who pushed with his remaining 400,000 effective stack.

Action folded to Shawn Smith, who appeared to make an isolation three-bet from the big blind, but Negreanu called to build a side pot of 560,000.

The dealer placed 29Q on the flop, and Smith checked. Negreanu bet 600,000, which Smith immediately called.

The turn saw 5 on the board. Smith once again checked, only to hear Negreanu announce a 1,200,000 bet, which forced Smith to fold. Negreanu and Swarts then tabled their hands in heads-up play.

Frank Swarts: 1010 All in
Daniel Negreanu: AQ

“Can you beat it?” Negreanu asked after showing his cards.

“I need help,” Swarts said before tabling his pocket pair.

The assistance didn’t come, though, as the dealer placed 6 on the river to give Negreanu a large pot.
