Negreanu Talks Nanos Into Call
A bombardment of speech play just put Daniel Negreanu in prime position for a double up before the dinner break - unfortunately the deck had other ideas. He threebet all in over the top of Konstantinos Nanos, still only with just over a million. As soon as his chips were over the line, he was off, at a mile a minute:
"I've only got seven minutes. I'm gonna ship every hand! I don't want to go to dinner break like this."
Pause while Nanos appeared to waver.
"Please call. PLEASE call. Please!"
Nanos' eyes headed towards his stack.
"Do it do it do it do it," chanted Negreanu, and after a second's further hesitation, he did it.
Nanos:
Negreanu:
The flop:
The turn: Now all the chop possibilities ran back and forth between them...
The river: That was one of them!
The dealer split the pot and handed it out in equal chunks. Maybe Negreanu will need to face the dinner break as a short stack after all.
