Poker players know how important it is to have confidence at the tables. In its absence, doubts about how to play a hand, second guesses and stumbles are bound to happen, almost certainly resulting in being sent to the rail. Well-known poker pro Daniel Negreanu is so confident in his game this year that he’s placed a wager on himself.

Kid Poker has made a $50,000 bet that he’d win the US Poker Open trophy. So far, Bryn Kenney has accepted the challenge, and others, like Poker Brat Phil Hellmuth, might follow suit. Hellmuth declined previous attempts to be baited into side bets, but he’ll more than likely cave at some point.

The Canadian poker wizard made a similar bet last fall just before the Poker Masters series. Twenty players jumped in, but Negreanu wasn’t able to capitalize on his prior success. Instead of picking up $1 million, he ended up having to open his wallet to make good on the bet.

At 43 years of age, Negreanu is now a household name in the poker world. He has six WSOP bracelets out of 36 final table appearances and two WPT titles from nine finals. To date, he’s racked up almost $36 million in live action and is first on both the Canada All Time Money List, as well as the All Time Money List.
