5-Card Draw
Daniel Negreanu had his last 16,200 in the middle from the small blind and his camera up and filming as George Wang put him at risk under the gun.
"I'm 100 percent getting slowrolled," Negreanu said as he stood pat, while Wang took a moment before drawing one. "I have a straight," Negreanu added, showing 9♦8♠7♠6♥5♣.
Wang turned over A♣10♥10♠10♦ for trips, but he failed to fill up with the 3♥ and Negreanu doubled up.
"He showed three tens and took one, and I thought for sure he was going to show another ten," Negreanu said after the hand.
"Rebuy," Wang shouted out, laughing off the beat, but he had Negreanu slightly covered and was left on a short stack.
