Botond Down, But Doesn't Lose His Shirt
Balazs Botond raised his small blind and got a call from Daniel Negreanu in the big blind to see a flop. They both checked.
Botond checked the turn as well, before calling 110,000 from Negreanu. He checked a third time on the river and this time faced a 245,000 bet from Negreanu. Botond swiftly called, but threw his cards into the muck in disgust when Negreanu turned over for a rivered two pair. We strongly suspect that Botond had been ahead until the river.
Negreanu's stack headed upwards to 2.814 million; Botond's headed down to 849,000.
