When the 2016 World Series of Poker's $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship kicked off at 3 p.m. local time in Las Vegas on Saturday, poker's biggest superstar was in his seat in the Amazon Room, raring to go.
"I'm super excited," Daniel Negreanu told PokerNews, right before his first event of the 2016 WSOP kicked off. "I've been waiting for this for like 300 days. It's fun. I love the grind. The last three days I've just been wanting to play."
Negreanu always plays a ton of tournaments on the WSOP schedule, and traditionally registers late, but due to a number of changes, including earlier start times and faster Day 1 structures, he made sure he was going to be on time today.
