How Can Daniel Negreanu Possibly Win This Hand?!

Daniel shoving leaves her less than 400K to call a 2.5mil pot. If he is wrong, he is out. Took balls to shove river

What an incredible read and play by Negreanu!

Some of the most sincere table talk after the hand by two players sharing some respect. Nice to see.

This is a hand that's relatively easy for a pro but very difficult for an amateur. 1. A bigger pair is not possible on this board. 2. She doesn't have a big pocket pair or their would've probably been a pre-flop raise. Plus, if she didn't have at least pocket tens, one of her hole cards just turns into a kicker. 3. Two pair and a set are not possible on this board. 4. There's no possible straight or flush. 5. She didn't flop a set of 9's because after calling Daniel's check-raise on the flop, she bet less than 1/3rd pot on the turn. If she had a set, you'd think she'd be trying to maximize value with a bigger bet into a check-raiser. 6. She doesn't have a king because, again, the pre-flop action would've been different. And after the river the two Ks act as blockers. So, again, if she didn't have at least pocket tens, one of her hole cards just turns into a kicker. So, either she has a pocket pair between 3-9, she has a 3 with a better kicker, or Daniel is winning with the nut low. And she obviously knows all this which means if she does have a pocket pair between 3-9 or a 3 with a better kicker why is she betting the river? Going for value hoping to get called by a lower pocket pair? Or a 3 with a worse kicker? After you've already been check-raised on the flop? And you have some showdown value? That's just a negative EV play.

the crazy thing is that 8 high actually has some showdown value here with daniel having a 3 a lot with this line

Foxen was actually running so hot this whole table swear she was hitting every other hand

Best play he’s ever done

Unbelievable play! He has to 1) figure her for nothing and 2) know she’ll bet the river. He has the nut low, so he can just lead the river but the fact he took this line is quite something!

sick one

I love Dneg but if you watched this live, you'd know he was at his wits end and ready to all in anything after her bullying him for hours. Both knew she was running hot and him cold. She leveraged it well and never failed to go aggressive with the likes of 9-7 off. Two great poker players, the cards favoured her but her using that even on bad hands made it fun to watch. When he made his stands, she had to know if she could press or wait for a better position, she knew and that's what won he the tourney.

Great, great hand!

Are you guys adding the 2011 Main Event coverage?

great play daniel.

He is truly the best

The check on the river was awesome. She could have checked back so easily.

2011 wsop please!!!

Foxen got absolutely slapped with the deck. Daniel was getting dealt crap throughout the last part of the match.

Now this hand is why i think he's the legend. 😂😂😂
