Daniel Negreanu Gets a Clutch Double Up

A shortstacked Daniel Negreanu found himself one player away from getting a walk in his big blind. When action got to the small blind however, he put in a raise to 2,600. Negreanu peeked down at his cards and then perked up with interest. "Let me do some quick math here," said Kid Poker. "You might have like queen-eight...alright I'm all in," he said as he pushed out the remainder of his chips. His opponent insta-called and turned over {A-Diamonds}

. Negreanu was in trouble and he knew it. He coyly flipped up the {A-Spades}

. The flop was little help to Negreanu coming {7-Spades}

. The turn left a small ray of hope for the Canadian coming the {5-Hearts}

. Negreanu called for a deuce or a six, and his prayers were answered when the {6-Clubs}

hit the river. Everyone chuckled a bit while the small blind pushed 9,300 total chips over to the Pokerstars pro. He is now working with a still below average 20,000.
