Negreanu Gets There for Massive Double
Level 11
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 25,000 from the cutoff, which was called by the big bind Michael Wang.
The flop came 5♣2♠8♠ and Wang checked to Negreanu, who bet out 25,000. Wang then decided to raise to 82,000, before Negreanu put in a three-bet to 164,000. Wang took some time before four-betting to put Negreanu all in for 425,000, which Negreanu called.
Daniel Negreanu: A♠5♠ 
Michael Wang: K♦8♦
Wang was ahead with his pair of eights but would need to fade lots of out as Negreanu flopped second pair and the nut flush draw. Negreanu wouldn't have to wait long, as the 7♠ on the turn gave Negreanu the nuts, and officially secured the double after the 8♣ on the river.
