Daniel Negreanu will not defend his $50,000 Poker Players Championship crown after being knocked out of the event by none other than Phil Hellmuth.
Negreanu, who ended a decade-long bracelet drought when he won last year's event for $1,178,703, would see his tournament end on Day 3 this year, after the seventeen-time bracelet winner Hellmuth made a Queen-high flush to send Kid Poker to the rail.
