Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

We picked up the action on the turn with the board reading {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs} and both, Daniel Negreanu in the small blind and Keith Tilston under the gun, checked their options.

The {5-Hearts} landed on the river and Negreanu led out for 160,000 into a pot of around 100,000. Tilston thought for a brief moment and then made the call. Negreanu tabled {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for just ace-high while Tilston had not much better, with {a-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a pair of deuces. Tilston was able to scoop a sizeable pot and take Negreanu down a notch.
