Negreanu Has Kicker Problems
Level 9
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 75,000 from under the gun and only Vinny Lingham called on the button.
Negreanu fired for 50,000 on the A♣J♦6♥ flop and Lingham called.
A 3♣ came on the turn and Negreanu fired again, this time for 100,000. Again, Lingham called.
Both players checked the 7♣ river and Negreanu announced, "Ace."
Lingham immediately showed A♦Q♥ for a pair of aces with a queen kicker, and Negreanu mucked while revealing the A♥ of his own.
