Laak vs. Negreanu

No Limit Hold'em

We don't know what the exact action was preflop, but after a series of raises Daniel Negreanu faced a bet that would essentially put Phil Laak all in. Negreanu had already commited well over 4,000 chips to the pot and eventually convinced himself to make the call.

Negreanu: {J-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Laak: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The flop was nothing what Negreanu had in mind as it came out {9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Laak not only hit his king, but also had a flush draw to go along with it. The {3-Hearts} turn changed nothing as Negreanu still needed a jack in order to win the hand. He received no such luck as the {3-Clubs} rang off the deck. With Laak winning the hand he puts himself over the 10,000 chip mark, and Negreanu now is sitting around 2,000 in chips.
