Nicolas Limps Aces

From early position, Gasperino Nicolas limped in. Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu limped from the hijack seat and then Juan Gonzalez checked his option in the big blind.

The flop produced the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Gonzalez checked to Nicolas. He bet 50,000 and Negreanu called. Gonzalez folded.

The {3-Clubs} landed on the turn and Nicolas bet another 50,000. Again, Negreanu made the call.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Nicolas stayed with the same bet, firing 50,000 for a third time. Negreanu mentioned that he had Nicolas beat until that card, then folded. Nicolas showed the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and after seeing it, Negreanu was surprised and said he had a queen. He also went on to add that if Nicolas had checked, Negreanu was going to turn his hand into a bluff and bet big on the river.
