Board:

{10-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

A player under the gun limps and the player next to him raises to 3,000. Daniel Negreanu, in middle position, calls. UTG makes it 15,000 and the next player is all in for an additional 9,700. Negreanu folds and UTG calls, showing {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

. The other player has {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

and wins the pot.

After the flop, Negreanu says, "I knew I woulda flopped it," as he pointed to the eight. "I woulda had a set of eights." If the limper hadn't raised, it's safe to say Negreanu would have 60,000 more chips than he has now.
