While out in the field a PokerNews live reporter overheard Daniel Negreanu shout over to Randy Ohel on the adjacent table.
"Hey, Randy!" Negreanu called, "I had a dream last night that you won a bracelet"
Ohel responded, "That is weird, you are the second person this summer to say that I have won a bracelet in their dreams."
"It was so vivid I almost congratulated you just now" replied Negreanu.
"Let's hope it's not a dream and it is a premonition!" joked Ohel.
