Daniel Negreanu was recently moved to a new table where he was graced with such poker presences as Vanessa Rousso and Barry Shulman. In fact, Negreanu has history with the latter as he fell at the hands of Shulman during heads up play of the 2009 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event.
Today it seems was no different for Negreanu, as he and Shulman were engaged in a pot that saw Negreanu ship a solid portion of his stack over to the WSOPE champion.
The two took a flop heads up with over 8,000 already in the pot. The flop came 
and Negreanu came out firing with a bet of 5,100. Shulman quickly moved all in and Negreanu snapped him off only to find that he was behind.
Negreanu: 
Shulman:

securing Shulman a double up through KidPoker. Shulman is now sitting at about 55,000 while Negreanu has fallen to 42,000.
