Daniel Negreanu Sniffs Out a Bluff

Over at the featured TV table, Daniel Negreanu was in a hand with the chipleader Jakob Paulsen. I caught the action on the turn. The board read {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}. Negreanu checked and Paulsen bet 5,000, or roughly the size of the pot. Negreanu thought and thought for a few minutes before he called. The river was the {8-Hearts}. Negreanu checked and Paulsen quickly bet 10,000.

"I don't believe you," said Negreanu. "I wish you bet more like 15,000 so I could fold."

Negreanu sat and stared at Paulsen.

"I don't believe you," Negreanu said again.

Negreanu called and tossed out two orange 5,000 chips. Paulsen was reluctant to show his cards. Negreanu tabled for second pair. Paulsen mucked.

"Wow, I was right!" exclaimed Negreanu as he dragged the pot. "I'm playing really well today."

Negreanu increased his stack to 64,000 while Paulsen slipped to 125,000.
