Negreanu Minimizes Loss with Kings Against Aces

[user67765]

Daniel Negreanu

Kevin Hong raised the button before Daniel Negreanu popped it up from the big blind. Hong made the call and they saw a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

.

Negreanu led out with a bet before Hong announced a raise. Negreanu made the call, and then check-called the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

turn and the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

river.

Hong tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

and Negreanu sighed and flashed {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

! A clash of two monster hands that has taken a huge chunk from Negreanu's stack as he falls to 68,000.
