Negreanu Breaks Out the Vlogging Gear

Mike Patrick

Level 11

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

The most reliable tell in poker during the WSOP is if Daniel Negreanu is holding his vlogging gear and narrating the action, you know he's all in.

Such was the case in a recent hand as Negreanu put his last 19,000 chips into the middle on a turn board of with approximately 30,000 in the middle.

His opponent on the button took a minute or so to decide, but opted to fold, sending the chips Negreanu's way

Deeb Drawing Live on Prop Bet with Oxman

Mike Patrick

Level 13

A recent pass of table 83 has seen one-time chip leader Ari Oxman's stack further shortened, with a large problem to his direct left in the form of five-time bracelet winner Adam Friedman.

"Shaun sent this guy over here to get me," joked Oxman, who will owe Deeb $500 should he bust before the end of the night.

Meanwhile, Nicole Cantrell has also grown her healthy stack to over 100,000 as several players at Oxman's table are now very capable of sending Oxman to the rail should a big pot develop.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adam Friedman	121,000 49,000	49,000

Ari Oxman	120,000 -60,000	-60,000
Nicole Cantrell	114,000 18,000	18,000
Shaun Deeb	23,000 -2,000	-2,000
