Marius Negrescu during the 2025 Battle of Malta.

Daniele Degennaro opened to 16,000 from the Cut-off, and Marius Negrescu, seated in the Big Blind, was the sole caller.

The flop came 5♠2♠J♠, and Negrescu checked to Degennaro, who continued for 20,000. Then, Negrescu went all in for 94,000.

Degennaro was visibly uncomfortable and contemplated his decision for a long time. “Do you want me to call?”, he asked Negrescu, who responded with an affirmative nod. Eventually, Degennaro threw in the chips for a call.

Marius Negrescu: Q♠8♠
Daniele Degennaro: T♣T♦

Negrescu had Degennaro in rough shape, and the full board 5♠2♠J♠A♠3♣ didn’t see Degennaro improving.

Marius Negrescu: 272,000
Daniele Degennaro: 110,000
