Frank Takes Big Chunk Out of Negreanu's Stack
Chris Frank raised the pot from the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu called out of the big blind to see a flop of 6♦5♥3♥, on which Negreanu checked and Frank checked back. Negreanu then bet the 5♦ turn for 1,100,000 and Frank called.
That led them to the 9♥ on the river and Negreanu opted to check. Frank was leaning down for ten seconds before staring at the board for a mere second. He then quickly announced a bet of 2,040,000 and moved it forward to sink back down on the railing in his usual pose, hiding the entire face.
Negreanu gave it some consideration without using a time bank and then called.
"Nut flush," Frank declared and showed his A♥J♠8♥6♣.
Negreanu sighed and checked his cards up high so that the rail behind could potentially see it, though never showed it to the table before mucking while he bemoaned briefly that he had "flopped the nuts".
