Daniel Negreanu Books Small Win in Mixed Results Session

Daniel Negreanu won a small profit on Day 23 against Doug Polk. But it could have been much more if not for yet another unlucky river card.

He also could have walked away with a larger victory if not for a huge failed bluff attempt. In one hand, Negreanu fired out a $55,000 bet on the river with eight-high (7-8). His opponent thought for a brief moment before making the call with K-J on a king-high board.

That hand took Polk from a sizable deficit to a tiny lead. Ironically, shortly after, he gave back a bunch to Negreanu with his own failed bluff attempt with 6-7. Negreanu made the call with trip kings. Tough to bluff into a monster hand.
