Daniel Negreanu is the PokerStars Shark Cage Season 2 winner after defeating Phil Ivey in heads-up, to take the trophy and $966,000.

It’s been an interesting few days.

PokerStars Team Online member Alex Millar resigned his position over his employers treatment of the VIP grinders, a few supporting voices ask Daniel Negreanu to also quit, and meanwhile, the face of Stars is winning the PokerStars Shark Cage for $966,000.

Season 2 of the PokerStars Shark Cage was history in the making. It was one of the most glittering final tables of all time. It was bound to generate a superlative heads-up. Everyone hoped it would be Daniel Negreanu versus Phil Ivey. When Ivey eliminated Maria Ho in third place that’s exactly what happened.
