Sontheimer Pushes Negreanu Off the Winner

Level 4 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With 120,500 in the middle and a board reading {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{A-Spades}, Steffen Sontheimer fired out a pot-sized bet of 120,000 with nothing but the {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} in the big blind.

Daniel Negreanu, who was in middle position with the {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, debated what to do, and eventually said, "I know what you have, you have king-queen."

Little did Negreanu know, that wasn't the case. "Kid Poker" wound up folding the winner and Sontheimer stole the pot.
