The player in first position has 87 spades and makes a standard raise. The next player with pocket 99 reraises and Negreanu calls with AK on the button as does the player in first position..
There is 3 million in the pot and the flop comes QQT and is checked around. The turn is the 4 and the board is QQT4 with three hearts. The player in first postion moves all in with his last million and the pot now sits at 4 million. The next player with pocket 99 folds and Negranu has AK with the K of hearts. He talks to himself and puts the all in player on three Q's.
My thinking is that Negreanu is getting 4:1 on a call and the hand has been played more like the first postion player has a small pocket pair rather than three Q's. With a flush draw I think he would lead out on this flop. Negreanu had to be thinking that his A and K could be live and certainly any J or heart would win him the pot. 18 outs gives him a 39% chance at winning the pot if the player is indeed holding a small pair. The math dectates that you should call here.
That jackass Sexton starts gushing over what a great call that Negreanu has made with A high and only a true champion can make this type of call. Hell I would have called there too and I suck.
The river was a 6 and Negreanu wins a large pot with A high.
