Ding Ding Ding! Jackpot River
Level 42
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu limped in on the button, and Biao Ding responded with a raise to 120,000. Negreanu then put in his own raise, limp-jamming, having Ding's stack covered by around 400,000. Ding wasted little time in calling.
Biao Ding: A♠9♠
Daniel Negreanu: A♥Q♦
The dealer spread a 5♥6♦2♦ flop, seeing Negreanu retain his lead. The standings remained the same after the 10♠ river was dealt, leaving Ding just three outs to survive.
Right on queue, the dealer burned and turned the 9♦ river, seeing Ding survive his third all-in at risk, much to the dismay of Negreanu.
