Daniel Negreanu Tells His Ivey Story

Happy_Freaked

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Daniel Negreanu tells us an epic Ivey Story, as he recalls a high stakes golf match from back in the day against Mike Sexton. Ivey won a huge sum, well into the six figures, but still had some strong words for his caddy who misinformed him of the put.
