No Quit in Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu was all in preflop for his last 15,500, and received four calls. The flop came down {4-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and two players got into a raising war that ended with one putting in 100,000. The other player folded, and Negreanu tabled his hand.

Negreanu: {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Opponent: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Negreanu was in terrible shape, but the turn ({3-Spades}) and river ({9-Spades}) were both spades, giving him a winning flush. Negreanu jumped from his chair, shouting with excitement.

"I like this table a lot better than the other one," he said after calming down a bit.
