Negreanu Rides Dabus To a Double
Action folded to Marcelo Dabus in the cutoff seat and he opened to 2,400. Two seats over, Team PokerStars Pro's Daniel Negreanu reraised to 5,700. The big blind folded and then Dabus made the call.
The flop came down 
and Negreanu bet 5,000 with 15,000 behind. Dabus took a minute and then raised to put Negreanu all in. With a quick shrug, Negreanu tossed the rest of his chips in. He held the 
and was up against the 
for Dabus.
The turn gave Negreanu top set with the 
falling, but Dabus did have a heart draw that kept him alive with chances to win the hand. Hitting a heart on the river would send Negreanu to the rail as Dabus had him covered.
The river completed the board with the 
and Negreanu finished with a full house to beat Dabus' trip jacks. Negreanu doubled up and now has over 53,000 in chips.
