Negreanu Keeps Doubling
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Down to 19,000 when the 10-handed final table started, Daniel Negreanu was one foot out of the door but a streak of doubles saw him catapult his stack to 236,000.
The latest came when Mike Matusow raised to 60,000 in the first position. Negreanu was in the middle and said: "Mike Matusow raises under the gun? Then I'm all in."
Matusow called off with 
and Negreanu was ahead with 
.
The flop, however, pushed the odds in Matusow's favor as the 
hit the felt. But the 
turn gave Negreanu a flush and Matusow couldn't finish with a boat to eliminate Negreanu. The 
river bricked his low draw as well and Negreanu scooped the whole pot.
