Family Pot Looks to Bust Negreanu

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Daniel Negreanu was all in before the flop, and all three opponents called him down, creating our first family pot of the evening.

The board ran down {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

with the three live players checking it all the way down. Alaei tabled {J-?}

{J-?}

{8-?}

{6-?}

{4-?}

for a jacks full. Ben Boyd could do better, showing {A-?}

{A-?}

{A-?}

{7-?}

{5-?}

for the nuts, aces full.

Negreanu was still squeezing and sweating his cards. In front of him lay two of his cards, {K-?}

{K-?}

{9-?}

. He squeezed out a {2-?}

{2-?}

and a

{3-?}

, locking up half of the pot with his nut low and staving off elimination for the time being.
