Negreanu Makes a Monster One-Pair Call
Level 21
: 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
From the button, Matthew Ashton raised to 140,000. Daniel Negreanu called from the small blind.
On the 
flop, Negreanu checked over to Ashton, who bet 240,000. Negreanu called to see the 
on the turn. Both players checked. On the 
river, Negreanu checked a third time. Ashton fired a big river bet of 600,000. Negreanu thought for several minutes, thinking his way through the hand. Eventually, he settled on a call.
Ashton pointed to Negreanu's hand, signaling that it was good. Negreanu shrugged and turned over 
for just top pair. Ashton nodded and mucked his hand, awarding the big pot to Negreanu.
