Daniel Negreanu: The player will collect $ 100,000 for a good cause
While professional players get into extra poker challenges all so crazy, some opt for high stakes duels. The latest is that between Rui Cao and Patrik Antonius, two high stakes specialists who will compete on tables of No Limit Hold'em for $ 350,000, the same amount in Pot Limit Omaha and $ 300,000 in 2-7 Triple Draw, which means a total challenge of a million dollars. Daniel Negreanu for his part recede from this practice and chooses a charity. In fact, the poker champion decided to raise funds for charity without choosing poker tables. The purpose of this fundraiser is to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, United States which is a specialist in the treatment of childhood cancers.
To encourage his compatriots to contribute to this quest and especially to thank them, Daniel Negreanu offers a dinner in Las Vegas and a poker lesson to all donors who give an amount greater than or equal to $ 2,500. And for donors of more than $ 50,000, the Canadian will offer them a VIP evening at his home with other players. Other players of the poker world did not hesitate to bring a hand to the charity campaign of Daniel Negreanu. Phil Ivey answered the call by offering $ 10,000. The goal should be reached in the coming hours as currently the amount of donations already reach $ 89,261.23.
