Cooler Flop Sends Negreanu Packing
Level 14
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
David Chen opened to 100,000 in early position and Daniel Negreanu defended from the big blind. The flop came A♥9♦3♠ and Negreanu check-called a small bet from Chen.
The turn brought the K♥ and Negreanu checked again. Chen splashed in a bet of 125,000 and Negreanu stuck around for the 8♦ on the river. Negreanu checked for the third time and Chen announced all in. Negreanu nearly beat him into the pot with his stack of around 350,000.
Chen rolled over 9♥9♣ for a set of nines and Negreanu was in disbelief as he tabled A♣3♥ for two pair. Negreanu was left mumbling to himself as he headed to the rail with his camera on.
