Hands #151-154: Negreanu Makes Straight in Three-Bet Pot
Hand #151: Paul Volpe raised to 55,000 and Negreanu called, picking up one card at the draw. Volpe stood pat.
Negreanu checked and Volpe knocked the table back. Volpe showed and took down the pot.
Hand #152: Negreanu popped it up to 70,000 and Volpe called. Both players take one card at the draw. Volpe led out post-draw for 90,000 and Negreanu announced a call.
Negreanu fanned and Volpe flashed a losing before his hand was pulled into the muck.
Hand #153: Volpe opened to 50,000 from the button and Negreanu came over the top for 150,000 total. Volpe let it go and Negreanu pulled in the pot.
Hand #154: Negreanu raised to 70,000 from the button and this time it was Volpe who made a three-bet, pushing 180,000 into the middle of the table. Negreanu called.
Volpe picked up one new card and Negreanu opted for two. Volpe fired 150,000 post-draw and Negreanu picked up his hand from the felt.
"I made a straight," said Negreanu with a small chuckle. He folded his cards and Volpe picked up the pot.
