Muhlocker Doubles

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu was in the small blind and moved a short-stacked Thomas Muhlocker all in from the big. Muhlocker called for his tournament life of 540,0000.

Negreanu: {J-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Muhlocker: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The flop was all red but not the suit that Muhlocker was looking for. It came down {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Negreanu's jacks stayed out in front. That all changed, though, when the {A-Clubs} struck the turn.

"Ooh," winced Negreanu. "I felt it coming, deep within- You, did you feel it coming?"

Muhlocker only returned a smile. The {5-Diamonds} finished the board and Muhlocker was able to double to around 1.1 million.
