The Third and Final Match
The third and final match between Daniel Negreanu and Gus Hansen has begun.
Hansen Narrating the Match
Unlike the first two matches, there hasn't been a moment of silence in this third and final match. Everybody knows that Daniel Negreanu is a bit of a chatterbox, but Gus Hansen has been narrating every play.
Here are a few snippets from the Great Dane:
- "I took the lead...on Table 3!"
- "That was a good one, I had s***."
- "He's going to bet here...OK maybe not."
- "If I bet the pot, I have a hand."
We'll continue to provide as much color as possible while the two do battle.

Software Issues
Daniel Negreanu is having some software issues on Full Tilt Poker. In one hand, he supposedly folded the nuts on the river because he didn't know how the "Timer" button worked, and in another, he folded because he hit the "Timer" button and he didn't have any more time.
"This wouldn't happen on PokerStars!" he griped. "The world's largest poker site where you can play tournaments now, now, and now."
The problems continued when Negreanu couldn't adjust his betting amounts.
"You have home ice advantage!" Negreanu told Hansen.
We wonder if Kid Poker is a hockey fan.
While Negreanu was complaining about the software, Gus Hansen was complaining about how Negreanu was running.
"Somebody stop this man from hitting it every time," Hansen sighed.

"I don't like my chances," Hansen sighed.
Negreanu indeed held as the board rolled out 
, and the match was over. PokerStars has swept Full Tilt Poker three to nil, while Negreanu himself is looking for a sweep of his own.
