ALL BUSINESS in the $25,000 HIGH ROLLER! – Daniel Negreanu 2024 WSOP VLOG Day 13

Introduction

In this blog post, we’ll be taking a look at Day 13 of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) through the lens of professional poker player Daniel Negreanu’s vlog.

Early Grind and Tournament Structure

The video starts with Negreanu discussing a lighthearted bet he has with his wife, Amanda, on the video game Beat Saber. Following this, Negreanu expresses his satisfaction with the day’s schedule, emphasizing the importance of well-structured tournaments. According to Negreanu, a good tournament structure is less about the number of starting chips (big blinds) and more about minimizing wasted time between hands.

European Style Play and Hand Analysis

Negreanu spends a significant portion of the video analyzing several hands he played throughout the day. These hands showcase the difference between European and American poker playing styles. Negreanu explains that European players are typically more aggressive, raising with larger bet sizes. Interestingly, Negreanu indicates that he thrives in this environment and can use it to his advantage.

One specific hand Negreanu dives into is a three-bet with king-queen suited from the cutoff position. Another interesting hand analysis involves a king-queen on the river where Negreanu ends up losing the pot.

Challenges at the Table

The video also features Negreanu expressing frustration with a disruptive player at his table.

End of Day Summary

Despite the annoyance, Negreanu finishes the day strong, ending with a chip count of 482,000 – more than his friend who was bagging chips for him. In a humorous closing, Negreanu teases that he won’t reveal all his hands at the end of the day, playfully referencing his Beat Saber bet with Amanda and his desire not to give away his tricks.

Conclusion

This vlog by Daniel Negreanu offers a unique perspective on the World Series of Poker. We see the strategic thinking behind Negreanu’s decisions, along with the challenges of navigating different playing styles and personalities at the table.
