Negreanu Quickly Gone
Daniel Negreanu has come and gone within the first 15 minutes of this event. Earlier, Negreanu tweeted the following:
@RealKidPoker: Playing 3 events today: 1500 PLO noon, Day 2 10k Stud, 3pm, 2500 8 Game 5pm, then noon tmr is 5k NLH shootout. Hectic schedule coming.
Our guess is that Negreanu came in trying to run up a stack or bust seeing as he'll be returning for Event #21: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship at 3:00 PM. Oftentimes in these events, pros will do that as they're just trying to play as many events as possible. Running up a large stack early is much better for them than grinding multiple events at once with smaller stacks, or so they feel.
