Negreanu Joins Familiar Faces, Busts on First Hand

David Salituro

Niveau 9 : 600/1,200, 1,800 ante

Daniel Negreanu was just moved to a new table that included Mike Matusow, Men Nguyen, and Frank Kassela.

On his first hand at this table, Nguyen opened to 3,500 before Negreanu moved all in for around 20,000. Kassela re-shoved and Nguyen folded.

Kassela stood pat with a ten-eight, while Negreanu was showing and took one.

"It's either a four or a five," Negreanu said as he peeled his last card, but it turned out to be a four, giving him an unwanted pair.

"I paired fours every time," he yelled as shot up from his seat, his cards dropping on the floor.

"What's Event #44? That's the one you're going to win," quipped Matusow. "I miss you, Daniel. I was hoping to play with you the rest of the day."
