Daniel Negreanu made his long-awaited debut on Hustler Casino Live on Friday, playing in the $100/$200 No-Limit Hold’em game for the first time in a cash game setting in quite a while. The session proved to be a rollercoaster, with the GGPoker ambassador falling behind by nearly $160,000 within the first two hours.

Negreanu struggled to connect with hands early on, including a spot where he flopped top pair with a nut flush draw only to lose to a five-outer on the turn against Nik Airball. His fortunes shifted when he picked up pocket aces, inducing an all-in call from Airball’s middle pair for a $46,000 pot.

The most talked-about moment of the night came in a hand against Sam “Senor Tilt” Kiki. Holding ace-queen on a board that eventually paired jacks for Kiki’s two pair, Negreanu check-raised the river to $75,000 with only ace-high. Kiki, despite holding a blocker that solvers would suggest calling with, folded after concluding Negreanu’s line represented a monster hand.

Negreanu also scored a $135,000 pot with pocket queens holding against pocket eights versus “Jellyfish,” propelling him to a peak profit of nearly $120,000 for the session.

However, the momentum didn’t last. Negreanu’s stack bled back down, and he ultimately finished the eight-hour stream down $73,800.

Elsewhere at the table, Nik Airball attempted a massive $161,400 bluff that ran into Senor Tilt’s strong hand, contributing to Airball’s session-ending loss of $179,400. Jellyfish suffered the biggest defeat of the night at $295,000, while Brandon Steven finished as the top winner, up $171,600.
