Someone from here must accept Daniel Negreanu's challenge!

From his website...

"
I probably shouldn't be telling everybody about this before I run it by the people at the Wynn, but I have an idea that I think will be lots of fun for me, and hopefully profitable as well.

It's pretty simple really: I'll play anyone in the world a heads up freeze out for any amount from $100,000 to $500,000. As for the game of choice- I'll let you pick it from the following list. You can choose just one or any mix of games you want.

Limit Hold'em
Omaha H/L
Stud H/L
Stud
2-7 Triple Draw
A-5 Triple Draw
Pot Limit Omaha
Pot Limit Hold'em
No Limit Hold'em

I won't refuse anyone. The only stipulation I have is that if I lose a match to someone I have the right to take my lumps like a man and quit. If Phil Ivey comes down to the Wynn and plays me heads up for $500,000 for example, I won't back down. In my opinion, he is a better Stud player than me, but I'll play him anyway and hopefully learn a thing or two.

If I'm lucky enough to win, I'd gladly give him a rematch. If I feel truly outclassed, I won't accept any more challenges in that game from him. However, he is welcome to choose a new game from the list.

I have structures in mind for all of the various games based on the amount we are playing for. For example, in a $100,000 limit hold'em challenge we'd play $1500-$3000 until one of us has it all.

If it was a $500,000 limit hold'em match, we'd play $5,000-$10,000 limit, giving us 50 big bets each to add more play.

Since it is a freeze out format neither player can quit until we wipe the other out. We can take breaks, schedule it over several days, or play straight through. I'm very flexible on that. The matches would have to work around my tournament schedule, but I will definitely make any and all challenges a priority regardless of the amount. Feeling lucky anyone?:)

Take care,

Who here will hear his call!

I had no idea he played so many games.

Anyone on this site with $100K or more lying around probably has better things to do with it than risk it heads up with DN.

Hell, buying lottery tickets might be a better option.

I've already sent in my challenge for $500,000 game. He has no clue whats coming. I'm the best player in the world. Noone has ever beat me at high stakes "GO-FISH"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your goin down DN!

Somebody stake me.




I will split winnings 50/50.

Pay him in Candian and when he asks you for good 'ole American currency say "Eh?" and run.

Its not going to be easy by any means for him. He's going to have pros challenging him at games that they are better than him at. One im very interested in seeing is Sam Farha is considering playing him in PLO (iirc)

Agreed. I saw some reactions from some idiots on some other site that made it sound like this would be easy money, if they only had the cash ...
