After being left on fumes, Daniel Negreanu was forced to be the big blind on the first hand of Limit Hold'em.
Naoya Kihara raised from the small blind, and Negreanu called all in for his final 37,000.
Daniel Negreanu: 10♦5♦
Naoya Kihara: J♦10♣
Negreanu needed to improve with the dominated hand, but the 9♣7♣3♥J♠Q♦ flop offered no such help, and Kihara's kicker played to eliminate Negreanu eight spots from the money.
