Negreanu on the Rise

Daniel Negreanu has strung together a series of smaller pots, but they've added up nicely to move him up the counts.

In a recent hand, Negreanu limped the small blind and Timur Margolin checked his option from the big to see a flop of K♣2♦7♦.

Negreanu led out for 120,000 and called when Margolin raised to 300,000, which brought about the 8♠ on the turn.

Action went check-check and then repeated itself on the 10♣ river.

Negreanu tabled the J♥7♠ for a pair of sevens and it was good as Margolin sent his hand to the muck.
