Negreanu's No Grasshopper

The action folded around to the player on the button who raised to 400 before the flop; Men "The Master" Nguyen called from the small blind, as did Daniel Negreanu from the big blind to go three ways to the flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Nguyen bet 800, Negreanu called and the button got out of the way before both players checked down the turn of the {J-Spades} and the river {3-Clubs}.

"Two pair, ace high," mumbled Nguyen. It wasn't good enough, because he mucked after Negreanu showed {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a bigger two pair.
