Negreanu Wins #4

A lot of good pros winning the events this year.

Negreanu Wins $2000 Limit Hold'em

It's been somewhat of a tournament win drought for Daniel, so I am glad to see him knock the dust off and pull in a bracelet this year. Odds are, the $204,874 isn't all he won considering Phil Ivey was offering bracelet bets like free condoms.

There is only one marked final table today in the $5000 No-Limit Hold'em tourney. The table is a group of "unknown to Ernie's" or UTE's. The $3000 HORSE tourney is down to 16, so they may play past the final table and crown a winner tonight. It could be interesting to look at later in the day as Todd Brunson, Jenn Harman, Marcel Luske and Hoyt Corkins (Mr All In) are still left in the 16. I would love to see Todd get a bracelet. He is one of the leading cash game guys in the world and gets very little respect outside of Vegas because noone sees him on TV with a bracelet with Norman Chad saying something like "Well I guess I know who my mother/wife/sister is going to bed with tonight...he he he...I'm a magnificent tool!"

Phil Ivey still has not won a bracelet. With the Lakers going down 3-1 last night and his bracelet quest still empty, this could be a very costly WSOP for Mr Starey Pants.

UPDATE: Pauly actually posted what he has heard Ivey owes on various prop bets and other activities...

$200,000 with Negreanu LOST
$1.1 million shooting dice with Barry Greenstien LOST
$2 million on the Lakers LOOKING BAD
$1 million with Ted Forrest for who will win a bracelet first
up to $2 million in prop bets that he or Allen Cunningham will win a bracelet this year.

Phil Ivey has roughly $6.3 riding around this year at the WSOP in prop bets and random gambling. Wonder how he's doing at the cash games?
