Negreanu Strikes with the Knaves

Yo, wassup dog
Yo, wassup dog
Michel Abecassis made it 925 from early position, Daniel Negreanu called from the small blind, as did Simon La Thangue in the big blind.

All three players checked a {2-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop before La Thangue fired out 1,000 on the {2-Spades} turn. Abecassis smooth called, but Negreanu bumped it up to 3,200. La Thangue folded, but Abecassis called.

An {A-Hearts} on the river led to a check from Abecassis, followed by a bet of 4,500 from Negreanu. Abecassis dwelt for longer than a Who Wants to be a Millionaire contestant on the final question before eventually making the call. Neagreanu showed pocket jacks, and the Frenchman quickly mucked.

Kid Poker now up to 23,000.
