Rocky Start for Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu's Day 4 ended especially well, but his Day 5 has begun less swimmingly. He has dropped a few chips here during the first three hands of play.

In the first, Ralph Robinson picked up a few from Kid Poker after betting Negreanu off a hand on the turn.

Then came a hand in which it folded around to Negreanu in the small blind and he raised to 29,000, and Rupert Elder called from the big blind. The flop came {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Negreanu bet 36,000. Elder called. The turn brought the {J-Spades} and another bet from Negreanu, this time for 57,000. Elder again was there with the call.

The river brought the {5-Spades} and a third barrel from Negreanu for 97,000. Elder took some time before acting, then raised to 240,000 and Negreanu quickly folded.
