Livello 14 : Blinds 400/800, 100 ante

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu raised from early position and Rod "sgolie" Fani called from late position. "Ctrlfreak1" three-bet to 4,000 from the button and Negreanu moved all in 14,800. "Ctrlfreak1" moved all in to put Negreanu at risk.

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu: A♦Q♦
"Ctrlfreak1": 5♠4♣

Negreanu was well ahead with trips on the A♣A♠9♠ flop. The K♣ turn left "Ctrlfreak1" drawing dead and the J♦ on the river was inconsequential. Negreanu secured a full double up and now has an average stack.
