Negreanu Jumps Into the Lead
Level 18
: 3,500/7,000, 850 ante
Daniel Negreanu had scooped several pots in quick succession to boost his stack to more than half a million. He continued his rampage and took on Mexican player "Squito in a battle of the blinds.
"Squito" limp-raised to 63,000 and Negreanu called to see the 
flop, on which the Mexico-based player jammed for 100,699. Negreanu called and the cards were turned over.
"Squito": 
Daniel Negreanu: 
The 
turn gave Negreanu a straight draw on top and he spiked the 
river for a flush.
