WPH #459: NEGREANU Can’t BELIEVE It! [High Stakes Duel]



Daniel Negreanu took on the challenger Eric Persson in the 4th edition of the High Stakes Duel hosted by PokerGO in the studio in Las Vegas. Both players put up $50,000 with the winner earning themselves an impressive $100,000!

Jonathan agrees with Persson’s large bet size on the turn when he turns the flush draw after Negreanu has now checked twice after his aggression preflop. Jonathan talks about how you should consider your bet size depending on what hands you are trying to make fold and what you think is the size that your opponent will fold those hands. Persson correctly reads that Negrean has a jack in this hand so he needs to bet big enough that is too much for Negreanu to call.

Persson does a fantastic job at confusing Negreanu on the river by calling out his exact hand and telling him that he has to call. This ultimately makes Negreanu fold the winning hand!

This poker hand took place during a high stakes poker showdown in the PokerGO studio as part of their High Stakes Duel Series. This was their 4th edition and saw Daniel Negreanu face off against the new high stakes figure and multiple business owner Eric Persson. The hand starts with Persson limping from the button with 43dd and Negreanu opting to raise to 3.3x to which Persson calls. Both players started this hand over 150bb effective. The flop brings the Ah Jd 7c which gives Negreanu middle pair and a back door straight draw. Persson has a very weak backdoor flush and straight draw. Both players opt to check. The turn is the 7d and Persson decides to use a pot sized bet of 2,000 after Negreanu checks once more. Negreanu calls. The river is another 7 as it lands the 7s. Negreanu checks his full house and Persson attempts to bluff with an almost pot sized bet. Persson does some excellent speech play and confuses Negreanu so much that he folds the winning poker hand!

In this poker hand history, the hand starts with under the gun straddling. It folds to Villain 1 who calls from the small blind, Jaman completes his option, and Villain 2 checks from the UTG. Heading to the flop, the community cards reveal Ad 6h 2c. Villain 1 checks, and Jaman decides to bet $20, which prompts under the gun to call and the small blind gets out of the way. The turn card is Kc, and Jaman decides to slow down and check behind after the small blind checks. On the river, an 8d appears, and Jaman bets around half pot with just 5 high which forces a fold from the small blind and Jaman drags in the $100 pot.
