Negreanu Makes a Final Table at World Series of Poker

Huzzah! One of my fave, fave, fave players, Daniel Negreanu (right), has made the final table in Event 8 at the World Series of Poker which is a $2000 buy-in Omaha hi/lo event. Negreanu is not only one of the best poker players in the world, but a joy to watch play. I don't know if there is anyone better at reading poker tells than Negreanu out there.
