Negreanu Calls Simao's Hand
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Joao Simao raised in the small blind and Daniel Negreanu defended his big blind to the J♦J♣9♣ flop. Simoa checked, as did Negreanu and the dealer flipped over the Q♠ turn.
Simao checked again and Negreanu fired 1,200 into the middle. The call was made, and the A♥ hit the river.
This time Simao led out for 4,200 and Negreanu took out his camera and began recounting the action.
After telling the table that Simao had aces or ace-jack, Negreanu decided to make the call and see his opponent's hand. Simao shook his head while turning over A♠A♦10♥9♦ for a full house on the river.
"I filled up on the turn," said Negreanu as he tabled K♥Q♥J♥4♠ while Simao raked in the pot.
