fryer98 30 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 ARTICLE8. Favorite poker moment: Barely an hour into the tournament, 30 year-old wunderkind Daniel Negreanu, Card Player magazine's "Player of the Year" in 2004, was down to his last $300 in chips and holding a Jack and a low card. An amateur about the same age, Marco Tranello, bet $400. The flop came 9-10-J of spades. Tranello turned over a Q-K for the straight, bouncing Negreanu out of the event.Negreanu, who has the mannerisms of Ed Norton in Rounders, smiled and stood up. Then he looked at the man who'd taken him out and said, "I need some money. You got any money?"Tranello looked at him. "Seriously?"Negreanu, who has earned millions playing poker since dropping out of high school, replied, "Yeah. I gotta enter a tournament tomorrow." It was a bluff, of course, but Tranello called it. He pulled a thick wad of bills out of his pocket, wrapped by a rubber band, and tossed it to Negreanu. Impressed, Negreanu pulled out five $10s, then tossed the roll back.Only at the WSOP.

Stanimal 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Perhaps the most annoying part about this article is that Marco is Jennifer Harmans husband who is Daniels best friend and the article acts like Marco is just some random guy who Daniel happens to be playing with...I love the black jack story in that article though where the guy gets up to fart.... Hilarious stuff! Link to post Share on other sites
