Daniel Negreanu Skipping the High Roller?
Last season on the European Poker Tour, Thomas Muehloecker won the €10,300 High Roller here in Barcelona, but he had to beat Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu to do so. In fact, Muehloecker came back from a 6-1 chip deficit to defeat "Kid Poker" and earn the €390,700 top prize. Negreanu earned an impressive €263,800 for second place.
Right now, Negreanu has stepped into the EPT Live commentary booth during coverage of the €5,300 Main Event. This High Roller event was brought up, but Negreanu said he was going to skip it. Marc Convey, one of the commentators in the booth, questioned Negreanu's decision due to the size of this event, but Negreanu said he was still going to skip it. He did ask if you could buy in up until Day 2, which you can, but then said he had a wine tour planned for tomorrow.
