Daniel Negreanu completed and then called when Qiang Xu raised.
On fourth, Negreanu check-called with open nines after Xu bet with his open eights. Fifth Street checked, prompting Negreanu to fire out a bet on sixth Street. Xu called.
Seventh street checked through, and Negreanu announced his nines. However, Xu had eights and deuces, and his two pair was good enough to scoop.
