Daniel Negreanu throws down WSOP gauntlet in million-dollar wager

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu has laid down the gauntlet to the rest of the professional poker world by betting on himself at 5/2 that he will win a World Series of Poker tournament bracelet in 2020.

Giving himself just over six months to win one, there is, of course, every chance that Canadian poker legend Negreanu will have to do so online rather than at the live felt where his years of stare-downs, twitches and tells can be interpreted by a master of the game.

There’s a chance that the WSOP will run later in the year, of course, but for now it looks almost certain that the vast majority of Negreanu’s work will be done online.
