Event 20 Over! Kid Poker Puts Opponent to Bed!
1 year ago
Silencing the critics and adding a fourth bracelet to his already jewelery-laden wrist, Daniel Negreanu has taken down this tournament and $204,874. Ugur Marangoz is out in second, pocketing $126,671.
The Stunner
Negreanu took control of this match in a betting and raising filled hand a few moments before this event concluded. With a mono-chrome flop and action on each street Negreanu showed down the flopped flush and relieved Marangoz of most of his stack.
The Sleeper
Just a few hands later Negreanu finished what he had started, limping on the button and getting a check from Marangoz in the big blind. The flop came down K
5
5
and both players checked. The turn was the Q
and two more checks followed. The 3
hit the river and Marangoz led out with a bet. Negreanu raised and Marangoz called all-in.
Negreanu turned over 9
5
which was enough to send Marangoz's cards to the muck.
