Lucky No Spade for Negreanu

Level 10 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Dan Smith in the small blind and Benjamin Pollak in the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts} and the action checked to Negreanu who continued for 10,000. Smith let his hand go while Pollak stuck around to see the {k-Clubs} pair the board on the turn.

This time, Pollak led out for 26,000 but couldn't shake Negreanu as he made the call. The {5-Diamonds} on the river completed the board and both players tapped the table. Pollak turned over {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for a missed flush draw and Negreanu also held spades with {4-Spades}{3-Spades}. Luckily for Negreanu, he missed the flush draw but paired his three to take down the pot.
