Daniel Negreanu to sell WSOP Europe action
Daniel Negreanu will be making an appearance at the 2019 World Series of Poker Europe this October. And like the Las Vegas WSOP, he will be selling his action, focusing on fans that missed out on his last sale before the WSOP, which sold out in minutes.
In addition to playing for more bracelet events, Negreanu will also be in the mix for 2019 WSOP Player of the Year. He currently sits in third place after the last summer’s WSOP, behind just Robert Campbell and Shaun Deeb. His position in the standings was due to cashing in 16 events for a total of $2 million in the series.
I will be offering no markup pieces to those that got shutout at WSOP earlier this year. Details on all that will be available shortly.
I’ll also be resuming the VLOGS for the duration of the series.

– While the start of the NFL season and new legalized sportsbooks are getting a lot of the current sports-betting industry’s attention, a federal sports betting bill still could happen. The news comes from Gambling Compliance and reported through LSR that Senators Chuck Schumer and Mitt Romney are still discussing the bill. One of the most noteworthy parts of the bill is that sportsbooks would have to use “official league data,” something that is currently only required in Illinois and Tennessee.
