VENT: From the 2005 World Poker Tour Jack Binion World Poker Open

The Flop
The Turn
The River


OUTCOME
At the final table, fivehanded, with the blinds at 15,000-30,000 and a 3,000 ante, Negreanu raised to 80,000 from the button, Mizrachi reraised all in from the small blind, Negreanu called.

ANALYSIS
Negreanu was offered decent pot odds for a race, but he was tampering with his chip position with his call. A loss of the hand would have left him short-stacked. The player in the big blind folded 8-7, so Negreanu was left drawing to one 7 or a very unlikely straight. Mizrachi could only watch as his opponent hit a one-outer on the river, eliminating him in fifth place, for $288,000.
