"Sick Turn" Leads to Massive Pot For Negreanu
Level 20
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised in first position and was called by Joao Vieira to his left and Jason Koon in late position.
The players all checked the 
flop, then things got spicy on the 
turn.
After Negreanu checked, Vieira bet 350,000 which was called by Koon. Negreanu then moved all-in for over two million. Vieira folded, but Koon called.
Daniel Negreanu: 
Jason Koon: 
"Sick turn", said Negreanu as the cards were turned up, showing that the turn gave Negreanu a set, but filled Koon's straight.
Negreanu needed the last nine or a board pair to survive, and the 
on the river was just what the doctor ordered to rocket Negreanu over six million in chips.
