Le-aving Them Guessing

Tommy Le opened to 2,900, and received four callers including Sorel Mizzi, Greg Vogelsong, Daniel Negreanu (button), and Duane Wellnitz (big blind).

The flop fell {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Wellnitz checked, and Le continued for 6,500. Mizzi called, Vogelsong folded, and Negreanu raised to 19,500. Only Le called.

Both players knuckled after the {3-Spades} turned, and Le led for just 16,000 after the {k-Hearts} fell on the river. Negreanu went into the tank with a pained look on his face, and after nearly a minute, he released.

"You throw ace-jack away?" Le grinned.

"We might've had the same hand," Negreanu returned.

No one will know for sure, but what we do know is that Le is flirting with 100,000 chips, while Negreanu is back down to 65,000.
