Mood Swing

Daniel Negreanu is rather chipper today, much more than yesterday, at least. Negreanu missed the first few levels of this event as he was tending to more important business over in the featured table arena. Negreanu ran deep into the Six-Handed Limit Hold'em event, just narrowly missing out on his fifth gold bracelet in a swingy heads-up battle with eventual champion Brock Parker. When Negreanu joined our field later that evening, he spent most of his time loping from table to table, recounting stories of his bad run to close out that final table.

Kid Poker has come back to work in a better mood today though. He's still bouncing from table to table, but he's doing so with lots of laughter, almost giddy. Between the last two hands, Negreanu and Scott Clements were over at Phil Hellmuth's table, and the three men shared a brief conversation. We couldn't eavesdrop closely enough, but it ended with all three men bent over in riotous laughter.

Each of them has reason for jollity today, as they are all climbing up toward the top of the leader board.
