Daniel Negreanu and Joe McKeehen are seated at the same table and each seems to be in good spirits with healthy stacks and some good humor.

Negreau was filming some clips for his vlog and had the camera pointed at McKeehen.

"There's the guy that knocked me out," he said.

McKeehen played along and pointed to his Main Event Championship banner that is hanging behind Negreanu.

"That's what I used for my ID today," said McKeehen.

On the way to becoming the 2015 Main Event Champion, McKeehen knocked Negreau out in 11th place. Negreanu had flopped top pair and got all in on the turn against the combo (flush and straight) draw of McKeehen. At the time, McKeehen was a successful pro, but most of the crowd was cheering for Negreanu.

The hand led to an award-winning photo by Joe Giron who captured the moment Negreanu fell to the floor as the {q-Hearts} hit the river, completing a Broadway straight for the eventual champ McKeehen.
