Negreanu Steps Out Of Line

Connor Richards

Niveau 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Michael Moncek called in the small blind.

Moncek checked on the flop of 5♥6♣K♥ and Negreanu continued for 60,000. Moncek instantly tossed his cards in the muck as Negreanu showed K♣Q♦.

"One pair, OK kicker," Negreanu said as he assessed his preflop line. "Every once in awhile, I need to step out of line and open up the king-queen."
