Full Contact Poker Gives Negreanu Another ProtegeWinner Has Big Shoes to Fill After First One Has Success |
|
Daniel Negreanu has his second protégé.
Anthony Mak, of Ontario, won the Daniel Negreanu's Protege promotion awarded by Full Contact Poker on Saturday. The final table was held at Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas on Saturday.
The 23-year-old Mak becomes Negreanu's protege for the next several months. His prize includes four $10,000 entries into major tournaments and exclusive access to Negreanu himself for help. Mak won his seat into the single-table tournament through the FullContactPoker.net final qualifier that took place Nov. 9.
Negreanu's first protege, Brian Fidler, truly had his life change when he won more than $200,000 after finishing second in a World Series of Poker circuit event this year. The entry was paid for by Full Contact Poker as part of the prize package, and Fidler attributed Negreanu as the reason for his success.
"I didn't expect to win at all," Mak said immediately following his win. "The feeling still hasn't sunk in. Maybe in a couple of days."
