“You gotta be in it to win it.” To make it in the big time poker world, just like in a marathon, participants have to push a little harder. “Kid Poker” Daniel Negreanu has set himself on a grueling course of poker action that will kick off in May and run through the summer, investing $2 million to participate in some of the year’s biggest games. Of course, with over 20 times that amount to be won, it’s a small price to pay.

Negreanu has already racked up more than $36 million in live tournament action. He’s poker’s winningest player, and certainly isn’t afraid to bet big. He is set to participate in 39 WSOP tournaments between June 1 and July 15, and has several other games lined up both before and after he sits down at the WSOP felt.

With the hectic schedule, Negreanu may have bitten off a little more than he can chew. He seemed to surprise even himself with his schedule, posting on Twitter, “Just going over my proposed poker schedule for May and beyond and yikes are there ever a boatload of high buy in [sic] tournaments. Pre-Exhaustion before the WSOP even starts. Also FYI $25k WSOP Fantasy draft date likely May 30th. May have a guarantee on it too!”
