Lee Hits the Brakes, Negreanu Pulls Ahead Early

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 5,000 from under the gun, and faced a three-bet to 22,000 from Chang Lee in the cutoff. The action folded back to Negreanu, who called.

Negreanu check-called a bet of 18,000 on the 2♣5♥4♣ flop, and check-called again when Lee barrelled for 90,000 on the 7♥ turn.

When the 5♠ completed the board, and Negreanu checked for a third time, Lee gave careful thought to his river decision. After using a time extension, he elected to check back.

Negreanu tabled 10♠10♣, which was enough to claim the pot, as Lee mucked.
