Oh Daniel. He say's he loves these re-buy tournaments...compulsive gambler in him.

-The Daniel Negreanu Show

Daniel Negreanu calls an all-in pre-flop (blind) and flips up 5spade3heart. His opponent has Q-Q. The board comes 9club9spade2diamond6heart4club, and Negreanu makes a runner-runner straight to double up to $3,700 in chips.

A few hands later, he gets all-in again with Jheart2club against AdiamondKdiamond. The board comes Jclub4diamond3club2heart8spade, and he doubles up to $6,150.

The next hand, he tells a Card Player reporter that since he finally has a noteworthy stack, he has just started to look at his hole cards before acting. On his first such hand, he looks down at A-10, flops trip 10's, and adds $500 to his stack.

On the next hand, he makes his first pre-flop fold of the tournament, nearly two hours into the event. He wants it to be known that he folded suited cards (a very tough laydown).

Later, the cocktail waitress comes by...and Negreanu doesn't have any $1 bills on him. James Bechtel buys him a water.

Man o Man...
Wish I had that kind of money to throw around...
