Negreanu Fills Up, Busts Opponent

When we reached Table 6, Daniel Negreanu and an opponent were heads up with the board reading {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Negreanu check-called a 10,000-chip bet, and the turn brought the {7-Hearts}. Negreanu checked again, his opponent moved all in for 15,000, and Negreanu snapped it off.

Negreanu: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The river was paint, but the {j-Diamonds} changed nothing. Negreanu's opponent hit the rail, while Kid Poker raked in a massive pot to push his stack above 60,000 chips.
