Crushing losses in poker tournaments happen to even the greatest of pros, and that includes Daniel Negreanu.
This week, while playing in a GG Poker World Series of Poker event, he was streaming as he got a Queen and a 10 and decided to raise before the flop as 'a little bit of a bluff.'
Then, Yuri Dzivielevski called, and that's when what would be a disastrous hand would unfold.
Right off the bat, Negreanu landed a straight. Dzivielevski bet, and Negreanu simply called, baiting his opponent into continuing the hand. It's a smart play here given that he's got a devastatingly good hand.
Out comes the 3 of spades, the second spade on the board along with a Jack. Dzivielevski shoves all-in, and Negreanu calls with his large stack, finding out that his opponent is holding 6-5 of spades for a flush draw.
All Negreanu needs is for a non-spade to come out on the river. But guess what happens?
