Torelli's Aces Beat Negreanu's Queens

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

The action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} just as Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu check-called a bet from Alec Torelli. The river completed the board with the {2-Hearts}, and Negreanu checked again. Torelli fired 10,000, and Negreanu went into the tank.

In famous Negreanu fashion, he was chatting out loud during the entire time he tanked. Eventually, he made the call.

Torelli turned over the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, and Negreanu flashed the {Q-}{Q-}. "I told you I could beat jacks," said the recent World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific Main Event champion.

With that pot, Negreanu dropped to about 22,000 in chips, while Torelli moved to 45,000 or so.
