Negreanu's Stack Dented
On a flop of J98, Daniel Negreanu bets $12,000 and Chris Combs calls. The turn is the 3 and Negreanu shoots out again with $18,000. Combs calls and the river puts the 10 on the board. Negreanu pushes all-in, having Combs well covered and Combs calles all-in, showing J10 for top two pair. Negreanu shows 108 for a worse two pair and Combs rakes in the pot to double up to $130,000. Negreanu's stack is now down to $158,000

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE PUT ANYONE ON A Q FOR A STRAIGHT?????

    because they'd been playing together for a while and may have developed some sort of *GASP* read on one another!!!

    YOU COULD SIT THERE FOR DAYS ....I'D STILL FOLD TO AN ALL IN WITH A POSSIBLE STRAIGHT!

    ITS THE WSOP MAIN EVENT...AND THE POT WASN'T THAT BIG...WHY RISK A CALL?

    DANIEL MUST HAVE TRIED TO REPRESENT THE Q....BUT NUMB NUTS CALLED HIM!

    how was the pot not that big.... the other guy had HALF his stack in the pot before the river. the only probable hand that would make a straight on the end is QJ, the straight isn't THAT scary.

    River card comes a 10! ...how is a straight not scary? board reads J 9 8 any Q or a 7 party is over!
    He called daniel's ALL IN....even if half the stack was at stake why risk losing the rest of it?

    what hand with a Q or 7 in it is calling the flop and turn other that QJ?
  • djalikooldjalikool
    AQ, KQ, Suited cards which includes a Q or a 7

    well, i don't see any suits on the board, so I don't know if there was a flush draw, it's possible. If someone calls that turn with AQ or KQ without the flush draw, it's ridiculous.

    There are some possibilities, I just don't think the 10 was the obvious straight card, the 7 or Q makes a more obvious straight as far as I'm concerned, someone much more likely to have an open ended draw than an inside straight draw

    Daniel acted as if he was procting flopped two pair. The other player calls trying to hit a straight, but instead hits his ten which means he would have higher two pair so he calls.
