Family Pot Looks to Bust Negreanu

[user66118]

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.
