Daniel Negreanu Doubles Through Gus Hansen

Over at the featured TV table, I caught the action on the flop of {10-Spades}

. There was 40,000 in the pot. Gus Hansen made a bet that would have put Negreanu all in for his last 26,000. Negreanu went into the tank.

"I'm behind now, but I won't be by the river. I can't possibly fold here," he said.

Negreanu called and was surprised to discover that he was ahead. They both had an open-ended straight draw, but Negreanu was ahead with Queen-high.

Negreanu: {Q-Clubs}

Hansen:

Patrik Antonius said, "I feel a spade coming."

"Don't say that!" yelled Negreanu.

"Sorry," replied Antonius. "I just feel it coming."

"I hope so," added Hansen.

The turn was the {4-Spades}

and Hansen picked up more outs with a flush draw.

"I'll be happy to chop it at this point," said Negreanu as he sweated the river.

The dealer put out the {J-Clubs}
