This looks like a very good series of tournaments and it will be fascinating to see who eventually comes out on top. Daniel Negreanu must have a chance of winning this and could land a few side bets in the meantime

a few heavy names in the professional poker industry. I'm expecting more names but it looks like the famous players are not going to throw with the money in these tourneaments. I think they are afraid because they will have big holes in the budget at high stakes the value is seen and courage

yeah interesting series, also some funny dudes like hellmouth and negreanu appearing makes for a soap opera at the poker tables. I think there will be a few of dude who will be watchin the series through subscription service.
How is this different than the WSOP itself? Besides cheaper. It's an Open so everybody could participate if they want besides we probably only going to see the usual names in every tourney during the series So its no big deal betting on yourself...
Daniel Nigreanu is a very interesting player and his game is usually very interesting and cool .... therefore probably it will be very interesting ..... the more how much I remember last year he did not have very big achievements and maybe this year everything will change

at this level many players are interesting but now they also depend on how they will play in these tournaments because he amounts of money paid to play in these games are very high. I would like daniel negreanu to win but in my opinion he is a player who is very watchful and these players know him. This is a disadvantage for Negreanu.

That buy ins of 10k USD wasnt big enough for negreanu it seems. So it had to rise the bets with that 50k side bet. If you have money, you toss them around like they are toilet paper

Mober even many millionaires do not come to play poker with the professionals players, they are not fishermens. They will not come to play in these tournaments if they have little knowledge of poker. Few people with money come to play with pleasure. The proof is that few professional players come in these tournaments because is big money and very risky for them.

If they are millionaires they do not actually care for these buy ins. For them its just pocket money. The professional poker players dont actually care for a 10k USD buy in. The rich people would?

sure businessmen have much more care for their money. They have many responsibilities and fees to pay. Any businessman even if he has a lot of money he will not risk playing poker with these professional players because they know, the money will end up in the pockets of the professionals. Except some of them who do not look at money when playing but these people are few and they really have some knowledge of poker.

So how to take this bet who could take this bet since he and the greatest player of our time to me have to have much more confidence in the club to be able to propose such a thing more we will see where this arrives and be the one that he even wins

Daniel Negreanu has made the final table of the US$50,000 buy-in USPO main event. I am really impressed by his performance. Stephen Chidwick is a huge favorite to win the USPO trophy at the moment. Can Daniel surpass Stephen? The final table is set to kick off today.

Massive well done to an American poker professional Keith Tilston on taking down the US$50,000 buy-in USPO main event! And congratulations also to Daniel Negreanu on finishing the tournament in third place and winning US$264,000.
