Negreanu Gets There on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 45,000 in the hijack with Q♣9♦, Dejan Kaladjurdjevic three-bet to 140,000 in the cutoff holding J♠J♦, and Daniel Negreanu cold called in the big blind with K♥Q♥. Foxen decided to get out of the way.
The flop came 7♠10♠8♠ and both players checked to the 9♥ turn, where Negreanu led out for 125,000. Kaladjurdjevic called with the straight, and the river fell the J♣, putting a straight on the board while giving Negreanu the nut straight.
Negreanu checked and Kaladjurdjevic took the bait by betting 425,000. Negreanu just called and the pot was pushed his way.
