Facing Negreanu: What's It Like on the Other Side of the Table?

You're super deep in a tournament. Maybe heads-up, or maybe just three or four left. You've played your A-game for days, and on a massive run. The cameras are filming every hand and the rail is deep with spectators – and almost all them are there hoping to watch you lose. Daniel Negreanu is on the other side of the table and his fans are out in force. They're hoping another bracelet will soon be added to his wrist.

It's a scenario most players won't experience, but one that has played out twice in the first week at the WSOP as Kid Poker made two final tables – finishing third in the $10,000 Tag Team and second in the $10,000 Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better Championship.
