Poker pro Daniel Negreanu finished second in the $1 million buy-in World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop tournament on Tuesday night, and the Canadian actually had a very large piece of himself for the historic event.
Brian Balsbaugh, who founded player consulting firm Poker Royalty, said on Twitter that Negreanu had sold just 13 percent of himself for the massive buy-in. In other words, Negreanu kept 87 percent of his action. Many players had much less of themselves, with some reportedly having in the vicinity of just 10 percent of their own action. It is worth noting that there have been conflicting rumors that Negreanu had much less of himself than what Balsbaugh said on Twitter.
Daniel @RealKidPoker Negreanu sold 13% of the $1m #Big1Drop entry fee ($130k) on Twitter. A $5,000 minimum investment returned $41,440.
