Negreanu Scares Off Marji
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 21,000 in the hijack, which only Melad Marji called in the big blind.
On a K♥Q♦4♠ flop, Marji checked, Negreanu bet 35,000, and Marji called.
Marji checked again on the Q♠ turn, and Negreanu fired another 42,000 into the pot. Marji wasted no time in folding.
"I almost checked back. I have kings full," Negreanu said as he flashed his K♠K♦. "It was just in case you had a queen," he continued.
