Daniel Negreanu is taking action for WSOP online events set to be held on GG Poker and WSOP.com. A first for the NFL and an online sportsbook. Check out these stories and more in the Monday Hit and Run.
Daniel Negreanu taking WSOP bracelet prop bets
With the online portion of the World Series of Poker being held on WSOP.com and GG Poker, Daniel Negreanu is thinking about bracelet bets. Last last week, Negreanu tweeted that he is offering odds on himself winning a WSOP bracelet during 2020.
The bet will be up for $1 million with Negreanu requesting 2.5 to 1 that he takes down a bracelet this year. Negreanu is also offering bets up to $100,000 versus winning bracelets versus a single player. The Connor Drinan market was the first to sell out.
Looking for action:
I’ll take 2.5 to 1 that I win a WSOP bracelet in 2020
Either:

Or, if there is a live WSOP this fall.
Tough to win against huge online fields.
Will bet up to $1 million. pic.twitter.com/BKXcGXWTei
