Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey were involved in a wild $311K 3-way poker hand with a stunning ending

What. A. Hand.

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!

Daniel Negreanu suffered a horrible bad beat with a terrific hand in a poker tournament

Oof.

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?

The answer is below (and WARNING: Some NSFW language ahead!)

Yep, just like Rounders. Brutal all around.
