Negreanu Spikes an Ace to Double Up

Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna opened the action with a raise to 180,000 in middle position. It then folded to Daniel Negreanu on the button, who three-bet all in for 670,000. The small blind folded, and Samuel Mullur in the big blind four-bet all in for his stack of 885,000. Suvarna gave it some thought before mucking his hand to leave the players heads up, with Negreanu at risk.
Daniel Negreanu: A?10?
Samuel Mullur: Q?Q?
Suvarna reviled he folded the same hand as Negreanu, eliminating one of his outs. But when the board ran out 2?J?A?K?4? Negreanu still found an ace to secure the double up.
