Negreanu Turns a Boat to Score a Huge Double
Jonas Kronwitter made it 70,000 from the hijack and Daniel Negreanu called from the cutoff. Laszlo Bujtas squeezed to 300,000 from the small blind, which only Negreanu called.
Heads-up to the 4♣4♠6♦ flop, where Bujtas put out a continuation-bet of 180,000. Negreanu quickly called.
Upon seeing the 9♦ roll off on the turn, Bujtas bet the pot, which was enough to put Negreanu all in for his remaining 930,000. Negreanu beat Bujtas into the pot, and the cards were turned over with Negreanu at risk.
Daniel Negreanu: 10♥9♥9♠8♦ 
Laszlo Bujtas: A♦A♣3♠2♠
Negreanu had turned a miracle nine to give him the nut boat, and only an ace on the river could eliminate him. The 4♥ dropped on the river, meaning Negreanu was awarded the pot and moved up to nearly three million chips.
