Mizzi vs. Negreanu

Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

Sorel Mizzi was in the cutoff and raised to 5,200 after action folded to him. Jason Somerville made the call from the button, but Daniel Negreanu wasn't content and made it 20,200 to go from the small blind. Mizzi responded with another raise to 36,200, Somerville folded, and Negreanu raised enough to put Mizzi all in. After a call, the cards were turned up:

Mizzi: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Negreanu: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

It was the "oh-so-common" race that we've grown accustomed to in all-in preflop situations. With Mizzi's tournament life on the line, the flop came down {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, leaving Negreanu wanting. The {2-Spades} turn changed nothing, and neither did the {Q-Spades} river as Mizzi survived to play another hand.
