Going all-in preflop with 10-10 in a game with this level of blinds? Who did that? Negreanu? If so, thats ok for him, but almost any other player should be imediately sent to a psychiatrist to make full evaluation of his mental capabilities... Not even being the first to talk, that can give him any type of excuse. I believe this guy must be very sick at this moment... JJ is ok, i understand, but 10-10?

That is Bull*hit story! lol, havent been round lately much, again , but from what I know & been reading stakes they sit down at are likely the same as in FTP 10k/20k HKD.
11M on ak preflop - right! BRM should check a little more detailed info about those news, as it is a poker community site and to distract 2/3 of users here with this is plain awful imo.

the 11 million should've been suspicious in itself. isn't that about how much the top 3 have earned in their whole careers? or is that just their tournament winnings? as for the guy who said he could understand going all in w/ jacks, but not w/ tens, is there really that big of a difference between the 2?
