Negreanu and Choi Battle in PLO

Level 2

Pot-Limit Omaha

In a five-way limped pot, Daniel Negreanu led for 5,000 from the small blind on the 9♦4♣2♥ flop. Kevin Choi called in the big blind, while original limper Brian Rast, Joao Vieira, and Chris Brewer on the button all folded.

Negreanu led again for 15,000 on the J♥ turn, and Choi stuck around.

On the 5♠ river, Negreanu checked to Choi who bet 40,000, and Negreanu opted to lay it down after a minute's tank, unable to find the appropriate amount of bluffs.

The very next hand, Negreanu potted to 5,500 on the button and only Choi called in the small blind.

On the K♠5♦4♣ flop, Negreanu continued for 5,500 before Choi check-raised to 21,000, and Negreanu called.

Choi then check-called a bet of 40,000 on the 8♦ turn.

The J♣ peeled off on the river as Choi checked for a third time to Negreanu who bet 100,000 into a pot of 136,000. Nearly two minutes would roll off the clock before Choi elected to fold, and Negreanu has gotten his stack back above starting.
