Potential Table of Death Brewing?
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
Due to the fact that they both registered late for this event, Daniel Negreanu and Eli Elezra have been seated next to each other. The table is only five handed at the moment, meaning that three other potential pros could be following suit and joining the table as well.
Sorel Mizzi has also joined the tournament, but he is at a different table.
