Nadya Magnus raises UTG+1 to 3,500, the player in the hijack calls, Joseph Cheong calls from the cutoff, and Season III WPT Player of the Year Daniel Negreanu thinks for a while before he defends the big blind.

The flop comes Diamond 9Heart 6Club 4, and it checks to the player in the hijack, who bets 4,000. Cheong folds, and Negreanu check-raises to 15,000. Magnus thinks for a while before she calls, and the hijack folds.

It’s down to Negreanu and Magnus as the turn brings the Diamond 7. Negreanu bets 12,000, and Magnus thinks for a while before she calls.

The river card is the Heart 7, Negreanu checks, Magnus bets 26,000, and Negreanu goes into the tank.

After a while, Negreanu holds up his cards (out of view of Magnus) as he studies the board, saying, “I block this, I block that …”

Negreanu talks to himself for a bit longer before he folds, and Magnus quietly takes the pot.

Nadya Magnus  –  190,000  (127 bb)
Daniel Negreanu  –  100,000  (67 bb)
