The 2022 World Series of Poker is fast approaching, and hopefully we’ll get a hand like we saw on Monday’s High Stakes Poker soon enough.
This one involved Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius. As always, we’ll dive in and break it down: There were four players before the flop, but what you need to know is Negreanu had a pair of 9s, Ivey had King-10 and Antonius had a pair of 5s.
The flop was 5-9-10. WOW. All three bet and Ivey called.
Another 10 showed up on the turn, giving Ivey three of a kind. But that gave a full house to both Negreanu and Antonius, with Daniel having the top hand. Antonius checked, Negreanu bet $26K, Ivey called and Antonius called.
The river? A Queen. There were checks until Negreanu bet $54K. Ivey smartly tossed his hand away. Antonius then went ALL IN.
And Negreanu, despite having the better hand, folded. WOW.
What a hand!
