Double Through for Negreanu

Negreanu: Cheerful as No Longer Shortstack
Negreanu: Cheerful as No Longer Shortstack
Threeway to a flop of {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} , and big blind Jason Mercier thought for a while before leading out 64k into Daniel Negreanu and Antoine Saout. Negreanu called quickly, Saout folded slowly.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and a bet of 129k from Mercier. Nereanu counted out one of his comparatively diminutive stacks, did some cut'n'thread type chip fiddling, briefly appeared to stick his tongue out at the unfazed Mercer and ultimately announced all in!

Call - and fast - and not surprising as the turn had just created a set-over-set situation:

Mercier: {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades}
Negreanu: {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

The river failed to upset the status quo with a one-outer (it was the {Q-Clubs}) and Negreanu gets the full double up to 1,315,000, while Mercier will have to make do with 2,475,000.
