Schoonover Flushes Negreanu

Kirk Brown

Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

PokerNews picked up the hand as the river came out 2♦5♠6♥9♦3♦ and Josh Schoonover led for 225,000 and was raised by Daniel Negreanu to 740,000.

Schoonover then responded by moving all in to cover Negreanu, who still had around 120,000 behind.

"Well you have to have a flush...but how big?" Negreanu began talking aloud as he went deep into the tank.

After close to three minutes, he pulled out his vlog camera and made the call, putting himself at risk.

Schoonover then showed him the bad news with A♦10♦ for the nut flush as Negreanu himself tabled J♦6♦ for a rivered flush as well.

"Yeah, nice hand," he said as he headed to the payout desk and Schoonover raked in the huge pot, catapulting him to the top of the chip counts.
