Negreanu Ready for a Big Day; Involved Early
Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu is back in action following a fourth-place finish in the �10,000 Main Event last night. He also attending the PokerStars party last night, but stayed off the alcohol in preparation for a big, important day of poker. Last year, Negreanu had a little bit too much fun prior to the start of the �100,000 Super High Roller and suffered through the last hours of Day 1 following a late entry.
On the 
flop, Negreanu was involved with Mike "Timex" McDonald. Both players checked, with Negreanu acting first, then the dealer placed the 
out on the turn. Both players checked again.
The river completed the board with the 
, and Negreanu checked. McDonald opted to go for a bet, and wagered 4,500. Negreanu folded, and McDonald won the pot.
On the next hand, action folded to Negreanu on the button, and he raised to 2,500. McDonald called from the small blind, and once again it was these two taking a flop together.
The 
rolled out, and that's as far as this hand would go. Following a check from McDonald, Negreanu's continuation bet of 3,200 was enough to do the trick because McDonald folded.
