Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has just entered the tournament room at the Casino Barcelona to take his seat in the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller.
Negreanu opted to skip the €50,000 Single-Day High Roller two days ago to play the EPT Barcelona Main Event and progressed to Day 2. But unfortunately for the Canadian, his day didn't last long when his opponent called his all in and came from behind to hit a flush to eliminate Negreanu.
Negreanu will be hoping the cards run better for him today in the High Roller.
