Blinds are at $150/$300 and antes are $25.  Daniel Negreanu is on the button.  Steve Zolotow is small blind.  Folds come all the way to Daniel and he raises 500 to make it 800.  Steve Zolotow considers his move and reraises 2500 more on top of the 800.  Big Blind folds and Daniel calls.  Flop comes 8D 8S 7C.  Steve is first to act and raises $5000.  Daniel ponders for a long time before finally folding.  Steve flips his cards to reveal 3D 4D!

Just before this hand I saw Daniel go heads up against a no-name online winner.  The flop came 3H 9C JH.  Both of them check and the 4 of clubs comes up.  The No Name guy says check and right after Daniel checks the No-Name guy says “That card just hit me”.  Daniel says “No I think you hit the flop. Probably the 9”  River comes 6S and helps no one. No-name checks and Daniel checks giving the guy a smirk.  The guy flips his cards to show a QH 9H! Daniel says “ I knew it!”
