Negreanu Prevents Disaster
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Artur Martirosian had open-raised in middle position when Daniel Negreanu tossed in a three-bet to 120,000 in the cutoff. Martirosian clicked it back to 300,000, and Negreanu called.
Martirosian bet a tiny 65,000 on the 2♥J♦A♣ flop. Negreanu thought for a while before he folded. Martirosian was kind enough to show AxAx for top set, after which Negreanu claimed he had folded pocket queens.
