Negreanu Misreads His Hand & Busts
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mark Steinberg called from the small blind and Daniel Negreanu made it 1,800 from the big blind. Steinberg called.
Both players checked the 7♣2♥3♦ flop to see the K♠ appear on the turn. Steinberg checked again, and Negreanu bet 2,500. Steinberg called.
After Steinberg knuckled the action over to Negreanu on the 10♠ river, Negreanu jammed for 4,600. Steinberg called, and Negreanu exclaimed, "I misread my hand, I thought I had king-ten. I would have checked,".
Negreanu showed just a pair of kings with K♣Q♠J♦9♠, and lost the pot to Steinberg's K♦10♥8♣5♣ for a rivered two pair. The pot was pushed to Steinberg, and Negreanu was out.
