Daniel Negreanu is wandering around the tournament area with a Heineken in his hand chatting up various players. At first, he was joking around with Barry Greenstein before he headed over to check up on his protege. Next up was Patrik Antonius and the two engaged in a rigorous yet jovial discussion about online poker. Negreanu looks a lot happier today than when he busted out on Day 1 after getting his aces cracked.... twice.
