Cassidy Drawing Dead as D-Negs Doubles

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Negreanu limped under the gun and Joe Cassidy raised to 3,600 in the hijack. Negreanu made the call and both players checked the {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop. On the {2-Spades} turn, Negreanu led for 7,000 and after asking him how much he had left, Cassidy raised enough to put Negreanu all in. Negreanu insta-called and turned over {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} for a straight that was the nuts plus a flush draw. Negreanu asked Cassidy if he had any outs which he didn’t as he turned over {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and was drawing dead. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Cassidy paid the 18,800 total that he owed Negreanu who doubled up.
