Negreanu Almost Cracks Aces

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Pot-Limit Omaha

Daniel Negreanu limped in from the hijack, and Naoya Kihara did the same from the small blind. Yang Wang then potted to 120,000 from the big blind, and only Negreanu called.

Wang then checked the 653 flop over to Negreanu, who bet out for 80,000. Wang called, which brought in the K turn. Action went check-check, and the same happened on the 2 river.

Wang tabled AAJ8 for aces, and Negreanu picked up his hand. He looked at his cards, then the board, then his cards again, pretending to work out if he could beat his opponent's overpair. He couldn't, and returned his cards to the dealer, letting Wang know that he was not a favourite on the flop.
