Negreanu Spikes Turn (and River) to Double

It was folded around to Daniel Negreanu on the button, who announced he was all in for his last 4,425. Negreanu's opponent directly behind him in the small blind called to put him at risk and the big blind folded.

Negreanu: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

"Eight or a nine!" Negreanu said.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

"I missed. Just put an ace out there and I'll go home," Negreanu said upon seeing the flop.

Turn: {9-Spades}

"Or a nine - I'll take that!"

River: {8-Clubs}, leaving Negreanu with two-pair for the double up.

Negreanu has more breathing room, but is still short, however, with 10,000.
