Weng Doubles to Stay Alive
Level 4
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu opened to 2,500 on the button and Bin Weng defended from the big blind. The flop came J?8?8? and Negreanu continued with a bet of 2,000. Weng check-raised to 5,800 and Negreanu countered with a three-bet to 12,000. Weng jammed all in for 28,700 and Negreanu called it off.
Bin Weng: 8?6?
Daniel Negreanu: Q?Q?
Weng flopped trip eights to take the lead but Negreanu claimed he had backdoor draws to go with his over pair. The 9? on the turn gave Negreanu some more outs but the 7? on the river bricked out as Weng doubled up to survive.
