Negreanu Back in the Game
Daniel Negreanu raised from under the gun to 3,000 and got calls from all around the table. Amit Zulkowitz in early position, Troy Wallace in middle position, Gilad Rubinsky in late position, and Tabatha Hilliard in the big blind.
The flop came J♦K♦Q♦ and Negreanu checked. Zulkowitz bet 5,000, and Wallace called, as did Negreanu. The turn came the 9♦ and it was checked to Wallace who bet out for 5,000, and both Negreanu and Zulkowitz called.
All players checked the 5♠ that came on the river, and Negreanu tabled A♦A♣ for the second nuts. Zulkowitz had QxKx for two pair but was way behind in third as Wallace flipped over 8♦6♦ for the flopped flush.
Negreanu was quick to get the camera out to let his followers know the action and that he couldn't even bet the second nuts but still happy with scooping up some chips to as he said to his followers, “Get back in the game.”
