The UK's Daniel Negaru

With the board reading {5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, Ganesh Bathmanathan led out for 8,000, along with his trademark trash talk. After a brief dwell, Thor Drexel, who was out of position, made the call.

"Two pair," declared Bathmanathan as he tabled {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Drexel mucked.

"Thank you," continued Bathmanathan. "I'll give you respect when it's due, yeah? Thank you, thank you. I am the Daniel Negaru of this country."

"It's Negreanu," corrected neighbour James Tomlin.

"I don't know how to say his name, but whatever it is, I'm the Daniel Negaru of this country."
