Daniel Negreanu plummeted out of the top 10 of the Global Poker Index this week, and Rich and Eric discuss that along with a bit of shakeup in the 2014 GPI Player of the Year race.
The two also offer a little advice for the Fantasy Poker Manager game on Facebook. This week's "buy low" candidate is a very familiar face, and the "sell high" is a favorite of the duo with a very big price tag.

Byron Kaverman opened to 65,000 from under the gun and was called by the cutoff, Eric Afriat, and the big blind, Curt Kohlberg. The flop came and Kohlberg checked. Kaverman acted quickly, betting 90,000. Afriat tossed the call out casually and after a little bit of thought Kohlberg also called.
The turn was the and Kohlberg was quick to check. After approximately 30 seconds, Kaverman made a bet of 210,000. Afriat also called, not as casually this time, as he carefully placed the chips into the center of the table. This left Afriat with just 340,000 behind. Kohlberg also came along and we had a large pot brewing.
The river was the and again Kohlberg checked quickly. Kaverman took his time, enough so that Afriat called the clock on him even though it'd only been about two minutes. Kaverman didn't give the floor man a chance to count him down. He made a bet of 350,000. Afriat thought for a bit and then placed the last of his chips into the center of the table.
Kohlberg agonized for a bit but eventually folded. Kaverman turned over for two pair, tens and fives. Afriat mucked and said "when you got somebody's number, you got somebody's number." It was a great run for Afriat, especially after winning the WPT Seminole Hard Rock less than two weeks ago, but it ends with him being eliminated in 11th place.
They are now combining into one table and will play down until we reach the final six.
Hand #1: Abraham Korotki opened to 105,000 from early position and the action folded around to Corey Hochman in the cutoff. He decided on a three-bet to 250,000, and only Korotki called the reraise, bringing a flop to the table.
Korotki then check-folded to a 125,000 bet by Hochman to begin the final table action.
Hand #2: Tony Gregg opened to 85,000 from middle position, but folded after a three-bet shove from Ryan D'Angelo.
Hand #3: Brock Parker open-shoved for 623,000 from early position and the action folded around to Curt Kohlberg on the button. He made the quick call to bring on a showdown.
Parker:
Kohlberg:
Parker made his stand with a real hand but he was crushed nonetheless, and the final runout of left him with an inferior full house. He hit the rail in 10th place for a $63,081 score, while Kohlberg neared the 2.5 million mark
Hand #4: Curt Kohlberg raised to 80,000 from the hijack, Abraham Korotki folded from the small blind and Byron Kaverman called from the big blind. The two checked it all the way down on the board and Kaverman would win the pot with for a pair of tens.
Hand #5: It was folded to Abraham Korotki on the button who made it 85,000 to go. Byron Kaverman folded from the small blind and Tony Gregg from the big blind and Korotki picked up the blinds and antes.
Hand #6: Byron Kaverman opened to 90,000 from the button and Tony Gregg re-raised to 250,000 from the small blind. Keven Stammen folded from the big blind as did Kaverman and Gregg wins the pot.
Hand #7: Ryan D'Angelo opened to 90,000 from under the gun +1. Everyone folded and D'Angelo picked up the blinds and antes.
Hand #8: It was folded to Keven Stammen on the button who thought a moment before raising it to 95,000. Corey Hochman in the small blind moved all in for approximately 500,000. Tony Dunst quickly folded from the big blind and Stammen was just as quick to call as he turned over a legitimate hand with .
Hochman also had a legitimate hand with but he could only shake his head as each card was dealt, knowing he was in dire needs. The board would run out and Hochman would be eliminated in 9th place while Stammen moved to 3.6 million in chips, which is good for the chip lead at this point.
