Negreanu Knows All The Angles
Daniel Negreanu had spiraled down a bit after dinner and when the action picked up on a board reading 8♦3♥J♥J♠, Negreanu had placed an all-in bet for his last 78,000. His opponent was thoughtful with his decision.
"Fine, I'll pay you off," the opponent said, calling.
"You have a jack, right?"
"Yah and you have eights?"
"Oh, you betcha, what do I need to dodge?"
Daniel Negreanu: 7♣8♣8♠10♠
Opponent: A♦K♣K♥J♦
Negreanu had a full house but his opponent was drawing to a jack, king or an ace. Negreanu pulled his phone out to properly document the moment but put it back on the rail after the 2♣ fell.
The two players went on to discuss the obligation to call there, how having a pair in the hole kills some of the opponent's outs, and how Negreanu may have still jammed there with a hand like 9x10xJxQx. Another opponent at the table summed it up, "That's a cooler there, nothing you can do!".
