Daniel Negreanu Poker Player of the Year at 2009 WSOP?
Will Daniel Negreanu be named "2009 WSOP Poker Player of the Year"? Doyle Brunson thinks so.
"Every time I look, Daniel is deep in a tournament," Doyle commented. "Looks like he will be Player of the Year at the WSOP...Congrats (Daniel)..Good job!!"
Good job indeed.
The PokerStars pro has already made a major impact on two WSOP tournaments over the past week with a Top 50 money finish in another. Negreanu finished 10th at Event #6 - 7 Card Stud World Championship on June 1. He finished 2nd at Event #14 - Limit Hold'em Six Handed. That even won Negreanu a sweet $138,280. He's closing in on a very profitable $200,000 at the 2009 WSOP and was still enjoying great success heading into mid-week.
Negreanu seems to be picking up where he left off last year. A first place finish at the British Columbia Poker Championship won Daniel $366,656. He also came in 5th at the World Series of Poker Europe, which resulted in a $431,209 payout.
For some lucky gamblers, a Daniel Negreanu win at the 2009 World Series of Poker main event would mean a massive payout. Negreanu would pay $450 for every $100 bet at BetUS.com if he were to make the final table of nine.
