Negreanu Cracks Mankin's Aces
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu was in the big blind, facing Erle Mankin's pot-sized raise out of the hijack. Negreanu called the extra 20,000 and then potted the 
flop for 60,000. Mankin had fewer than that behind and called for all his chips.
Negreanu had 
for a wrap and Mankin opened 
.
The 
turn gave Negreanu a straight and Mankin needed a ten to outdraw him with a Broadway. The river card was the 
and Negreanu finished with queens full of eights, eliminating Mankin short of the last three tables.
