Pedro Neves in the cutoff opened, Daniel Negreanu three-bet from the button and Viktor Blom four-bet from the small blind. Both Neves and Negreanu called.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♥3♠8♣ and Blom raised. Neves and Negreanu called again, but After Blom bet the 2♣ turn, Neves folded.
Negreanu however raised, Blom reraised and Negreanu called with the single red chip worth 5,000 he had left.
Daniel Negreanu: 8♥8♠ 
Viktor Blom: A♦J♣
"Finally," Negreanu said with his set after losing several pots. The Q♥ river didn't bring any surprise and Negreanu secured a double up.
