Daniel Negreanu hadn't played a hand for the first 25 minutes of the day, but piped up with, "I've got good cards! Guys, I've got good cards!" before playing the following hand and taking a pot off of Jason Mercier.
Mercier: (X-X) / / (X)
Negreanu: (X-X) / / (X)
After announcing that he had good cards, Negreanu completed the bet on third street. Mercier was the only caller.
"Queen!" yelled out Negreanu, pointing out what he wanted to dealer to give Mercier. "Aha! I'm pretty good at that," he excitedly said when he saw Mercier pick up a queen. Negreanu landed a king, though, and both players checked.
On fifth street, Mercier checked, Negreanu bet, and Mercier called. Then on sixth, Mercier led with a bet, and Negreanu called. On seventh, Mercier checked, and Negreanu bet.
"Fifty-fifity on the end... so brutal," Mercier said before he called with a grimace on his face after a few moments.
"Nine," said Negreanu, showing for a nine-eight low.
"No good," responded Mercier, but he was joking and didn't show his hand.
After Mercier mucked his hand and Negreanu was pushed the pot, about half a minute passed by and then Mercier said, "I'm trying to figure out how I could've won that hand. I don't think I could've," while looking towards the sky as though he was searching for answers.
"Nope," responded Negreanu.
"I guess I could've gone all in on third street, then you might've folded," joked Mercier.
"Yeah, that would've worked," laughed Negreanu.

Daniel Negreanu and Jason Mercier have been tangling quite a lot already during this year's World Series of Poker, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon.
Just now Negreanu called a bet on sixth street and, after receiving his final card, Mercier put out a blind bet on seventh street.
Mercier: (X-X) / / (X)
Negreanu: (X-X) / / (X)
Negreanu slowly squeezed his cards and when he found what he was looking for he tossed in the call.
Mercier showed and Negreanu took down this pot as he showed for a ten-seven low.
