A wholesome moment just took place on Daniel Negreanu's table.

Arash Shahi from Toronto, Canada was on the rail watching his fellow countryman tackle the Main Event.

At the 2018, Shahi and Negreanu were at the same table in the $1,500 Limit Hold'em Event at the Rio All Suite and Casino. According to Shahi, Negreanu paid for Shahi's massage after the latter realized he had no cash on him.

Shahi told Negreanu that'd he pay him back but when Shahi returned from the ATM, Negreanu was gone.

Shahi just told Negreanu the story and passed him a crisp $100 note with Negreanu saying "This is going to be lucky,".
