Cowie Ignores Negreanu's Advice

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu raised to 12,000 under the gun. Himmaphoum Bounthinh and Donald Cowie called from the button and big blind, respectively.

The flop came all spades QJ10, and the players checked.

The 4 hit on the turn and Negreanu bet out 25,000 chips. Bounthinh quickly folded.

Cowie gave it some thought.

"You fold, I'll show you," Negreanu said. "I promise.”

"Don't be curious."

Not fazed, Cowie made the call.

The 8 landed on the river. Negreanu checked behind Cowie, who turned over 109 for a straight.

"Oh, I would called that hand too," Negreanu said, tossing his into the muck.
