Negreanu Doubles First Hand

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

An under-the-gun player opened to 3,000 and Daniel Negreanu moved all-in for 50,000, which folded the action back around to the initial raiser who decided to call.

Daniel Negreanu: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The flop came Negreanu's way with {3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} with the turn {10-Spades} giving his opponent outs in the form of an off-suit queen. The river came out an {8-Spades} which did not improve the opponent and Negreanu doubled his stack on the first hand he played.

Imsirovic Doubles Through Kulev

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ali Imsirovic
Ali Imsirovic

Ali Imsirovic raised to 3,000 on the button and the small blind flatted with Alex Kulev in the big blind three-betting to 18,000. Imsirovic thought for a bit and called while the small blind got out of the way.

The flop came out {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Kulev bet 10,000 which was quickly called by Imsirovic.

The turn of {a-Spades} was once more bet by Kulev, this time to the tune of 20,000 which Imsirovic once more called.

The river came out an {a-Diamonds} and Kulev put 53,000 in the center, all of his stack but one chip. Imsirovic went into the tank and after about 30-seconds called. Kulev showed {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for queen high and Imsirovic showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush, which was good to take down the pot and the full double.
