I don't know exactly how much he sold or to who.The Feature Table for days 1 and 2 will be streamed at WSOP.com and the final table will be live streamed on ESPN2 in the US. I don't know what the live stream situation will be for the rest of the World for the final table but I'm sure it will be available somewhere online.Daniel will be tweeting updates and Poker News will have their usual online tournament updates.Good Luck Danielhttp://www.wsop.com/2012/thebigone/https://twitter.com/...!/RealKidPoker/http://www.pokernews...-limit-hold-em/Daniel's Twitter UpdatesDaniel Negreanu@RealKidPokerGood start to the One Drop started with 3 million chips and won 269k through 2 levels playing well and focused. Days off were a blessing.Daniel Negreanu@RealKidPokerDropped to 2,586,000 end level 4 but playing lights out and in the zone. Hellmuth hit a 3 outer on me for a big one.

And back in it with 2,117,000 40 players left one hour left #allinfor1dropDaniel Negreanu@RealKidPokerStarting to think this just ain't my year. Made it through the day with 470k which is 9 bbs.
