Negreanu Doubles Up

Thor Hansen raised from the button to 1,100. Eric Hershler called from the small blind. Daniel Negreanu then raised all in from the big blind for a total of 5,300, and mentioned that he may be pulling a squeeze play.

Hansen made the call and then Hershler went into the tank to think about things. While Hershler was thinking, Negreanu asked "Is there a bounty on my head?" as he smiled to the rest of the table. Hershler then folded.

Negreanu: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Hansen: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Negreanu flopped top set and it held up as the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, {7-Clubs}, {5-Clubs}. Negreanu is back to 13,600 chips.
