Negreanu made it to day 2... easy. He wont win it but he does provide great entertainment thats for sure. As talented as he is he doesn twin that many tournys, but all the cash's are enough to keep him at the top of his game.

This is a great oportunity to Negreanu increase his number of winning tourneys world wide. There are always some local amateurs who turn things harder, but should be always good to win away from home!
I like Austria very much, also if I prefer Tirol. For sure if I was a pro I won't miss this tournament: snow and poker is almost like tropical beach and poker

Not at all LOL - 3M is huge, but if you compare pro winnings then theres difference. I think my live winnings are about 2-2,5k played in Estonia btw . If it was even 1% of what Kravchenko has win, id be very happy with the results .

Yeah, i understand that. Actually the only thing i wanted to say was, that if i had to put my money on one of them, who goes furter, it'd definitely be Kravchenko.

Negreanu is myfavourite pro. Just reading up on his "Small Ball" play yesterday. Trying to find the 200 page text from his new book, Power Holdem, otherwise I'll have to order it and wait... Can't buy these books in Belgium locally. He writes great, apparently.

the attendance seems to have fallen in this ept maybe because of the robbery in last ept , but hopefully they'll increase slowly in some time when people will forget about that
