Daniel N wins and loses a million dollars rehularly in one night at the Bellagio. Many of the players in that game have lost more than 2 million in one sitting (including the likes of Phil Ivey,Jennifer Harman etc). They live and play in a different world to us. In your local £100 sit down game do you not have any players who pull up a grand to be the table bigstack (we have Howard in Blackpool lol)? Its only the same for them here at their level. Now you can understand why they just dont seem to interested in many of the comps they play in- Ivey regularly busts out in the first level of 10k buyin comps and makes more in the cash games than the winner of the tourney does.

Well Negreanu clearly goes on tilt, i dont think the swings are quite as hi as Ariston says i remember just a few months ago reading about how Danny first got stuck for 1m in a game. He then made back most of it. Being 750k down for him is a big deal, especially when its on telly!

In fairness to Negreanu he had some sick beats.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

I can assure you Flushy the swings are that big in the bellagio big game. I had a conversation with Kirk and daniel about how they can possibly justify loding a million dollars in a night- their attitude is basically that they also win a million dollars in a night as well. I was challenged to a game of basketball by kirk for stakes to be arranged when we are out at the wsop this year (I can promise you it will be very small stakes though) and I want DN to be in on the action as well (basketball was going to be my proffesion when I left school many years ago- ok I was maybe 8 stone lighter then but I am hoping I still got an edge lol).

I only know from reading his blog, but i remember him saying how it was such a big deal when he was first down $1m so to say it is regular is unlikely!

Jennifer Harman's 82off play was the best, he doesn't bet til he's behind then confidently says "Queens!" before being forced to muck.

Yeah, that's something I might do. Get overtricky and slowplay the hell out of it until I've been outdrawn, and THEN bet.
What was surprising was that she flat-called, and then everyone else looked around as if to say "what just happened there?"

There were three diamonds on board I suppose. |

I have to agree with others views this show is the best out there. Real poker with lots of money.
This last week has been great to watch, Deeb going mad at being accussed of going south with chips. That skeleton like man who only played one hand and it was AA. The brat getting schooled by the cash players (Barry hitting quad 8's was harsh though) and finally last night watching more AA's getting busted for big money.
