did they have $75k on each table? if thats the case im not suprised he wasnt in a good mood after it. who would be happy losing $150k? especially when the guy your playing is on a total heater. lose your money and theres not a thing you can do about it. im sure he'l bounce back

By reading the chat, I can’t understand why anyone says D.Negreanu seemed annoyed after the game, the chat was the most normal possible. I don’t know if it’s true that Daniel had ever played 2 tables HU LH at the same time, that sure seems strange for such an experienced pro like him, and I guess we will see another challenge.
I think Negreanu HU LH as much as NL HU so i can imagine that he hasn't played 2 Tables at the same time. And i also didn't see a sign that he is annoyed in the chat or in this article.

Negreanu it's not an expert on LH, though he is very god at PL and NL... Playing 2 tables of HU LH is not his main activity and, of course, his oponent is a very experienced player in such game...
About chat I don't think he is annoyed, maybe a little bit desapointed...
Negreanu is one of my fav poker players all around the world... Hope to see him again soon!

not sure fl is daniel's game- probably this was just for promotional reasons, and in that case i doubt daniel lost his own cash- probably stars just gave the cash for both players and said "give us some action"...doubt if such an experienced player like daniel would agree to risk 75 k, to play someone who is an expert at fl, while himself just having a first time at it

i think this is very likely, but what about the PokerStars commercials? We Are Poker, they sure are amazing, i guess some rich people will just try for fun Poker on PokerStars, only after seeing the commercial somewhere xD
what else do you need to know to know this game
