Lee Ousts Negreanu

Shamus

Daniel Negreanu

After a player in the cutoff opened to 2,500, Daniel Negreanu reraised all in to 27,000 from the button. The small blind folded, Doug Lee called from the big blind, and the cutoff got out of the way.

Lee showed {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

, and Negreanu {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

. The flop came {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

, giving Negreanu the lead. But the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

on the turn meant Kid Poker had suddenly gone from way ahead to way behind. The {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

on the river gave Negreanu two pair, but it was not enough to overcome Lee's set. Negreanu is out, and Lee now has 178,000.
