Daniel Negreanu Playing Much Better Poker Since DivorceA couple weeks ago, Daniel Negreanu wrote in his blog that he was getting divorced. While there's nothing "necessarily" funny about getting divorced, from what he wrote, it seemed like a decision he was more than OK with and was ready to move on.
Presently, all three of the Entities who comprise Wicked Chops Poker are married to our current/first wives. So we're no experts in what divorce can do to one's poker game (yet). But in a very unscientific survey involving Daniel Negreanu and no one else, we'd say that it seems like divorce can--in fact--improve one's poker game tremendously. Interesting...very...interesting.
With only 21 remaining, Negreanu wass the new chip leader at the World Poker Tour Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic All-Star Spectacular (WPTDBFDWPCASS). Going into Day 5 play, he's stacked at 2,279,000. He's followed by Matthew Casterella (1,686,000), and Day 3 chip leader, Jordan "Ginger" Rich (1,640,000). Other notable bigs include: Dave Ulliott (1,579,000), Erick Lindgren (1,571,000), Ryan Daut (1,239,000), and Todd Brunson (1,105,000).
Gun Hansen was eliminated in 22nd place. Huck Seed was eliminated in 24th.
Note: Negreanu was sent home at 14th place...still impressive.
