Break Babble

Lacey Jones took up some of the break by interviewing Daniel Negreanu on the stage for the crowd to view and listen to. She asked Negreanu who he thinks has the best chance to win and Negreanu said, "I'm going to have to go with my buddy Phil Ivey. He's a pretty good poker player."

Jones went on to ask Negreanu that if Ivey happens to bust, what advice he has for the eventual winner. Negreanu wanted to remind all of the players to "remember who your friends were before you won."

She next talked with Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, former Main Event champion. Ferguson talked about his new foundation that helps to support various schools and villages in Africa. He's really liking all the help that he's providing and hopes he can turn the idea onto other poker players.
