Tafur Doubles Through Negreanu

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened from the button and Daniel Tafur pushed all-in for 29,000 from the big blind.

Negreanu thought the hand out-loud as he commonly does - trying to assess Tafur's range.

"I think I'm usually good here most of the time," Negreanu said as he slid out a call.

Tafur flipped over {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, which was in good shape to double against Negreanu's {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{A-Spades} and Tafur doubled to just over 60,000, while Negreanu slipped to about 160,000.
